I understand. I was so happy to have mine removed. I could eat foods I loved again. :-) Best wishes for your surgery and a speedy recovery.

Wow, thanks for posting this - who knew? I have a friend with gallstones, and I think she'd mentioned using ginger when she sails on her husband's boat to avoid seasickness. I'll let her know that she either should find a different seasickness remedy or at least check with her doc.
And great that you're getting your gallbladder out so you can go back to enjoying gingery things. I love ginger too! Good luck with your surgery and best wishes for rapid recovery.

Who needs a gallbladder anyway?
Ginger is way more useful.

Curious...
Wikipedia says that the bile in the gallbladder helps with the digestion of fats. If you have your gall bladder removed do you have to be more careful about your food intake?

What I've read is that the gallbladder stores the bile that the liver produces, so the lack of a gallbladder means the lack of storage facilities for bile, not the lack of bile. What can happen is either that the liver produces less bile, or that it produces just as much as before. The first scenario means don't overdo big fatty meals, the second scenario often leads to the runs....and in either case, apparently a bit of alcohol helps the digestion run smoother, which I'm not complaining about at all!
