Hi all been ages since I have been on (sorry). Hope your all keeping well.

Had a few things to deal with myself.

I have had a couple off stays in hospital resulting in having my gallbladder out last Thursday.

I am going to spend some time today reading the post. Take care all.xx

Morning. I also had my Gallbladder removed I have to say I did not get any pain from it so thought is was iffy weather it should come out or not but as I needed a liver biopsy they did the two in one go, liver was good news very little scarring but surprisingly the Gallbladder did not just have the one very large stone but was filled with other small yello stones , since I have the op in April I have felt much better and the recovery time is about 2weeks to get back to normal so go for it.

I have felt well apart from one four day period when I felt huge fatigue , aching all over , shivers no appetite , this is the only symptoms I get and when these bouts are over I am fine again so I have not started on any medication. What advise would anyone offer me on taking the meds with just these symptoms about 6 times a year so far ???

Good luck with your op.

I am waiting to have my gallbladder removed as I have gallbladder polyps, I am unable to tolerate fat in my diet. After the op do you think I will be able to at least eat a little fat, I am interested to hear how others have been after having their gallbladder removed.
