Glallbladder and how smart I am?
Ah, Pam! I am so sorry for your pain, but I appreciate reading your story! I am sorta in the same boat, in the sense that, they found a large amount of stones in my gallbladder when they did my pre-op testing. After "talking" with many people here, if my doctor suggests it, I think I will go ahead and let them take it out. I think I would rather get it all over with, rather than risk having to have a second surgery -- AND -- suffer all the pain you have.
Good luck, and thanks for sharing!
