All I can add here is that surgery will not end symptoms in many cases. I had mine out for the symptoms I was experiencing and my doc told me it would be all better.
Read through some of my old postings to see why he lied.
I must add that I did not flush prior to surgery, I had a chronic temperatature, I thoght it was related to the gb that was "inflammed" and full of adhesions. I will never know if it could have be saved.
PS, I still have the chronic temperature....may never know why.
