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...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
