I just had my gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago and I feel great. I was bounched around to doctors for over 2 years i had many ultrasounds CT scan.. etc all the nasty test they can do and finally a doctor listened to my symptoms and send me for a hida scan .. I had lower abdominal pain very servere and it went up my right side into my back. Since my surgyer I have had no problems haven't tried dairy or high fats yet but I feel great so far. I have become very Thirsty and drinking lots of water and never seem to get hydrated but my doctor says to keep drinking the water so I will see how that goes. the doctor said my gallbladder was cronic that big C word colecto.. oh I can't spell but I seem to be ok now.
