Going under the knife

[chrose]

Well tomorrows the big day, the day I lose at least a pound! Sometime tomorrow I will be having laproscopic surgery and having my Gallbladder removed. It's been bothering me for about a month now and perhaps it was bothering me a lot longer without me realizing that was the problem. So if all goes well I'll be back posting over the weekend....otherwise............... we'll just see.
See ya in a bit.

Good Luck and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Let us know how it goes...

Why are you getting your gallbladder removed? There are ways of removing stones WITHOUT removing the whole organ!

If you haven't already, please look into a gallstone/liver flush. There are countless testimonies online of people avoiding surgery by doing this. It involves a LOT of olive oil. There are even pictures online of people stones that they have expelled.

Please.. the doctor's solution is just to remove the organ, but why not postpone it just for a little while and try this first. Do it for yourself! If you aren't happy with the solutions, you can always get the surgery.

P.S. I'm not "against doctors and medicine," (Please don't dismiss it as that.) This is just something I have looked into. This is YOUR gallbladder and they don't have to take it away from you!

chrose,
did you try accupuncture? worked for me. really well. also changed my diet a lot - low fat, lot of beets, applesauce, yogurt, olive oil and lemon juice. i really did not want the surgery as i have a lot of bad reactions to drugs, so i chose to go the more non-invasive route. it took a little while to clear up but i still have all my internal organs
any questions feel free to pm me.
i hear you might have a lot of pain from the gas after the surgery, so just be aware of this.
either way, good luck and have a speedy recovery,
kat

I wish you well. And I want you recovered before the weekend. I'd miss your posts.

Let's get together and get drunk sometime.

Wishing you a speedy recovery! My mom had this some time ago (she was quite a bit older ) and she came through it like a champ. We'll look for your post soon!

The laproscopic version seems like a piece of cake compared to the previous, more invasive method. I'll be on the lookout for your painkiller-induced posts! Good luck, chrose! I'll be sending positive vibes your way.

I've had gallbladder problems in the past and they are NOT pleasant......good luck! Hopefully this will remedy your medical issues.

Good luch chrose and speedy recovery!!!!

Thanks for the good wishes and advice everyone. I'm about to head out shortly to the hospital. I know there are other methods besides cut and snip, and you all are not the only ones to tell me that, but I choose to go this route. I figure since I now have an AICD in my chest, the removal of the Gallbladder should even things back up
MarkV, I like the idea of getting drunk, I'll save some pain pills so we can save a few bucks BTW where in NJ are you?
Panini, great advice! In fact I went through the 70's using that as my mantra Mich, I'll type something incoherent just for you! (I hope you'll notice the difference). Kat I'm sorry you've had bad reactions to drugs. Perhaps you just weren't using the right ones
And CC considering my formal French cuisine background you should know I would be serving "Gallbladder en Vessie" with a nice Petrus
Thanks to you all, I do hope to catch up with you shortly!

I live in Parsippany, NJ. It's northern, central NJ.

Can I come to that dinner with the Petrus? You can keep the gall bladder but I would definitely have some of the Petrus.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hey man, good luck. Good luck good luck.

One more time, good luck.

[katbalou]

chrose,
hope everything went all right. and it wasn't those drugs that i had a problem with!!! i swear it's old age catching up on us and giving us a royal payback for all that we may have done for fun when we were younger. at least for me!!!!
and for those of you still enjoying gallbladder problems - stay away from - peppermint, chocolate, deep-fried anything and ginger. they can really aggravate the condition.
