My hubby thinks he needs his gall bladder taken out. He has a persistent pain in his side and he cannot think what else it might be.

My sil had her's removed and now swears it's the best thing she ever did! Let us know what you decide, so that others may learn from your experience.

Good luck to you!!!

He probably should have it checked, could be kidney stones too!

I had my gallbladder removed several years ago and for the first couple of months I had bathroom problems, but now everything's a-ok. My gallbladder was completely full of gallstones and the relief after the removal was worth anything I might've had to go thru!

I had mine out in January and i had severe complications from the sugery but as for the bathroom thing it depends on what i eat. spicy food i am in the bathroom hard core but sometimes it's pretty normal the longer i go the easier it's getting at first it was horrible but i would rather deal with being in the bathroom than dieing in pain!

I had mine removed 4 years ago and really haven't had any problems. Some of my friends had told me to stay away from lettuce and cabbage because they ended up in the bathroom each and every time they ate it. It doesn't bother me the same way it does them. What I have found I have a problem with is red sauce - pizza, spaghetti, lasagna, etc. If I eat it in small portions (like one spoonful of red sauce with my spaghetti vs covering the pasta with it), my body tolerates it a lot better! It wasn't the food that got me - it was the internal sutures they used that gave me fits - was to be out of work for 1 week and ended up being out for 8!!! This was my first surgery (other was a vaginal hysterectomy) where I had internal sutures and my body rejected them. Cause one infection after another until the doctor went back in to remove those that were left - they were supposed to disolve but they didn't - when he removed them 6 weeks after surgery, they were still "whole" and you could see the knots he had tied in them!!!
