Stop being a pussy. Just go get it taken care of. Laparoscopic surgery is so easy and non-invasive that you'll wonder why you put it off. |

I think its possible to use a coat hanger and get that rascal out of there. But seriously I wouldn't put it off too long. Good luck.

The only thing you have to do is remember to keep within 2 minutes of a bathroom after eating for the first few weeks of the surgery. And KCFANinSEA is correct, your crap will never be the same after that. |

For the most part, it doesn't change bowel habits. But sometimes what you eat can cause it to be one of those "hurry up and get to the bathroom" situation. |

The gall bladder emits a biel that breaks down grease/ oil. If you eat a greasy / oily diet the food will run through you like Carl Lewis. That is how it was explained to me by the doctor. I had mine removed years ago and still have to be careful, especially if I go out to restaurant.

I spent 24 hours in the hospital on antibiotics and painmeds waiting for the inflammation to go down before they could operate. Apparently laparoscopy becomes a less likely option the larger your gallbladder gets. Also, nobody warned me about this or explained laparoscopy to me at the time (pretty out of it on meds), and it kinda freaked me out. Apparently they pump air into your abdomen to make it easier to see and move around inside you. When they're done, they release as much as they can, but you often get sewn up with air bubbles still inside that can move around your body. When I first woke up and couldn't yet move, I had a horrible pain in my shoulder. I thought they dropped me off the operating table or something. Apparently it was just a gas bubble, but it hurt like hell. |
