I had laproscopic gall bladder surgery in July of 1999. I have had chronic diahrea ever since! I did see my surgeon several weeks after the surgery and mentioned the diahrea but he said that he can't believe it is happening because no one gets diahrea after this surgery. Well, the diahrea never went away. For the firsat few years I felt like I was in prision because I couldn't go to the grocery store without using the bathroom 2-3 times. I really can't even blame my diet because I eat a low fat diet of beans and rice and vegies. I must admit that teh diahrea has lessened. Now, almost 5 years later I don't feel like a prosioner and I ony have diahrea once a month or so.
