Gallbladder Cleanse



Recommended Posts

Been having some mild discomfort and was wondering if anyone has done a cleanse. Did it help? My insurance has an exclusion for gallbladder, so no coverage for treatment.

Thanks in advance!

I can understand them having an exclusion for gallbladder "treatment", but what about gallbladder removal? That would seem absurd!!

Years ago, I was having severe gallbladder attacks (no ultrasound ever showed that I had gallstones though) and I was told I would need to have it removed. I didn't want to do that so I purchased this product called "Gall Cleanse". I'm not sure if it REALLY did anything, but I never had an attack in the 9 months that I used it.

I never did have it removed BTW.

Honestly I would look into having it removed. I can't imagine insurance wouldn't cover the surgery to remove it. 6wks after I had my son I started having attacks. Within 6wks it got so bad that on the way to the hospital I was so completely out of it I couldn't really tell what was going on. Getting ti removed was the best day ever.

I was a self pay surgery. No insurance. When I finally did get insurance, the screening process picked up the meds I took post op. Instant exclusion for surgery or treatment.

I would search for a natural cleanse on this topic!

Try not to have it removed if you can help it.

Just my 2 cents worth...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
