I had my gall bladder out in October....for the 1st month or so certain foods were just not agreeing with me. Now I can eat pretty much anything I want and it doesn't bother me. The best thing is I've lost about 29 pounds since my surgery, which put's me back at pre-gall bladder problem weight. The only real problem I've had since then is that I developed a bad kidney stone that put me down for about 4 weeks, but if I had to do it all over again, I would have my gall bladder taken out over and over and over, if that means not being in pain and gaining weight like I was before my surgery. As the old saying goes to each his own....our bodies are all different and we all react in different ways.
