gallstones!

[ginger12/26 4]

So I hit goal, had an unfill (no restriction) and then 1.5 wks later had a gallbladder attack! I am also extremely bloated (like painfully so) and I have gained like 15lbs in less than two weeks. I have really been watching my diet, counting calories and everything. Anyone else been through this? I have an appt with my surgeon on Wed and possible gallbladder surgery on Friday. Fun times!

Do youself a favor quickly... do a little research... not all gallbladder surgeries are necessary... actually it is a very common practice to remove a gallbladder when someone has gallbladder stones, but I know that there are sometimes ways to clear it up without surgery... your doctor most likely won't tell you what to do that is alternative... so do research on your own... or look quickly for a naturalpathic doctor.... there are cleanses out there that disolve gallbladder stones pretty quickly.... I am not recommending anything.... but I know unless the gallbladder is greatly infected throughout, there may be other options... removing body organs is never a good thing in my mind.... do yourself a favor and check out other alternatives, even if you end up with a decision that is similar to what you started with, at least you know you researched and made the best decision for yourself... .... PLEASE!
