Hello, I had my gallbladder taken out in October 1977. I too had problems but over the years it has improved. I do still have problems with my first meal of the day so I try to have it and leave enough time to do my business before I go for the day. I have ruined alot of clothes. I also still have cramping pain if I eat alot of fat and milk really does a number on me. But it is alot better than when I had gallbladder attacks. I started having them when I was a kid and I threw up more times than I can count. I got diagnoised after I gave birth to my son when he was 5 months old. What a relief. Before that I was rushed into the emergency room I don't know how many times, them telling me it was all in my head. When I was pregnant and around eight months they told me it was false labor. I was born with a gallbladder that was the size of a thumbnail and it's supose to be the size of a pear.
