[quote=Anonymous]I onlyhad mine removed because I was having attacks/ pain about once every 3 months. Like, call out of work type pain. Lots of people have stones and no symptoms, getting it removed wasn’t exactly a walk in the park (and I was 38, healthy, not overweight, and not currently having an attack when it was removed as a planned surgery so basically as low risk as you could get). I had to take a week off of work and it felt way more uncomfortable to me than the C sections had even though it was apostolic. Something about the location of the pain being higher up made it harder for me to move around. Oh and the trapped gas feeling in my shoulder for like 24 hours was brutal.

I’m glad I did it because I no longer have gallbladder attacks but if stones  were found incidentally during a scan for something else??? No way. Lots of people have stones and no symptoms. You might never have symptoms.

Also having it out means that when you eat a fatty meal you have to sprint to have diarrhea afterwords because your gallbladder isn’t controlling the release of bile anymore. I only had this issue briefly but some people have it permanently. [/quote]
