[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, congratulations to those of you who had a great gallbladder removal experience - I am beyond envious because postcholecystectomy syndrome devastated my health and also my career.

25% of patients who get cholecystectomies suffer some degree of the syndrome so it's not rare.

[b]OP just please pay attention to your body and get ahead of anything that arises.[/b] I wish you all the best![/quote]

Totally agree. The vast majority of people have the surgery and it's a non-event. But if you develop postcholecystectomy syndrome it is awful. My mother's gallbladder symptoms did not go away- the bouts of diarrhea and vomiting continued and she ended up dying in her early sixties a year or so after the surgery from an aneurism (due to esophageal varices caused by vomiting). No previous medical history/no risk factors. It should have been a simple surgery and a return to normal life. Just see your MD and hound them if things don't get better- we wish our mum had.[/quote]
