Gallbladder, anyone?

Lise - My energy worker told me the same thing at the time...then when I finally had it out it was so full of stones and crud they had to enlarge the incision. I truly appreciate Eastern/alternative options but sometimes you have to go with a more traditional approach.

Regarding weight loss, I was so sick while waiting for my surgery (had to wait a month to get in to my preferred doc) I lost twelve pounds and was pasty gray and sick...and everyone told me how wonderful I looked with the weight loss.

Thanks, Queen. I'm glad you shared your experience. I've read the ultrasound of my gallbladder, which says there's "layered sludge and multiple stones". Sounds like surgery would be a good way to get rid of that!

I've been OK since Tuesday night. Sore under my right rib cage, but no attacks. I'm back from Florida, and so very glad I got to see my friend. I'd like to wait 33 more days until my surgery date, but if I have another attack before then, I'll just go in and let them operate.

I will probably lose weight just cuz I'm now thoroughly scared to eat anything with much fat in it!

When my sister was diagnosed with an adrenal tumor some years ago, she had been seeing a Chinese accupuncturist. She told him of the diagnosis, and he told her that it didn't matter if she had surgery or not, the problem would remain. Ummm, not so much. She had a 10 cm tumor removed from her adrenal gland, and things got a lot better! I agree that the Western perspective is often overly interventive. But not always.
