[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]emergency gallbladder removal this weekend. still trying to process it all. what is life like after removal? medical team says things should be fine, go back to normal etc, but would appreciate hearing from someone who is several months or years removed from the surgery.

Just to add, I'm frustrated you had that experience of being told by medical team that things should be fine - the same thing was told to me by my excellent surgeon and I wasn't provided any of the information included in the resource I linked for you. If I had been, I would have known that when the diarrhea didn't resolve in short order I needed to seek medical attention.

I'm typically stoic and slow to get medical attention so I didn't, and I ended up with a vitamin deficiency and severe neurological deficits for more than half a decade while doctors tested me for MS and a host of other conditions that might explain the symptoms, but nobody thought to look at the history of recent cholecystectomy and work out that I was experiencing that host of digestive dysfunction that can lead to malabsorption of nutrients and serious consequences resulting.

Book mark the link and pay attention to how your body responds to being gallbladder free. [/quote]
