Gall bladder removal is now being done with laproscopic techniques. One of my designers just had this done, and was back to work a few days later. The less invasive procedure has a much shorter recovery time.
If you get a diagnosis for gb removal get a 2nd opinion, differnt doctor, different hospital. Gall Bladder surgery is often taken out on a whim, since you can live w/o a gall bladder. But it can be serious surgery w/complications. Unless you are in excruciating pain, wait.
I was diagnosed with gall stones about 20 years ago, they were going to do surgery, by that time the pain stopped. I haven’t had any gall bladder problems since then.
“VEGETABLE” is an invented classification, assigned to certain foods by custom and common assent. Thus, for example, potatoes (tubers), turnips and radishes, etc. (roots), and tomatoes (true, seed-bearing fruits) are collectively dubbed “vegetables” and marketed as such.
The nutritive content, specific chemical composition and physiological effects of a food are factors (and no doubt there are others) that should drive decisions regarding consumption of a particular food from a plant source, rather than whether or not it falls within the range of the over-generalized “vegetable” category of foods.
Excellent advice. And it’s not necessarily the surgery to remove but the life without it. God gave us a GB for a reason; it stores excess bile to break down fats, etc. If you can ‘cure’ yourself with a very cheap, effective product why not do it and keep what God gave ya:)
There’s alot of speculation that it’s actually the honey that causes the problems with the teeth, not the ACV. Be sure to take higher doses of a good magnesium, which stores in your teeth, and they will be much stronger.
Potayto? Potahto?
I’d tell the doctor to call the whole thing off.
:)
Mainstream medicine is almost as bad as mainstream media :|
No offense necessarily intended to any MD’s on FR, BUT...no one is really trying to cure anyone; only to treat symptoms. And, there are alot of cures out there for all kinds of maladies, mostly from minerals which I’m a huge advocate of taking.
If they don’t find gallstones in you, please have your pancreas examined, with a CT scan and/or MRI. Pancreatic cysts can cause similar digestive symptoms as gallstones.
Thanks. I’ll talk to my doctor about doing that.
Beware of people telling you to avoid surgery if you have cholelithiasis. Should you push a stone from the GB into the common bile duct it can result in obstrucion of the liver and/or pancreas. This will lead to jaundice and possible pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is a very dangerous medical condition. If one has obstructive pancreatitis due to a retained stone, the obstruction must be relieved. One of the most feared complication of pancreatic obstruction is acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis where the walls of the blood vessels are 'digested' by proteolytic enzymes manufactured in the pancreatits. Autodigestion leads to very bad outcomes. The uncommon condition of acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis has a very high mortality rate as well as profound and life-long complication. There are a few who tell you to get a second opinion. Do it. Get 3 or 4, but get them from people who deal with the problem routinely.
Thank you. That was very informative. I am hoping they don’t find anything, but if they do, I’ll listen to the medical advice.
You are not kidding about laproscopy! So...I go to see the surgeon for post-op visit and he tells me “yours is the last operation I did the old fashion way..now on it will be laproscopic”! I muttered something like thanks a lot. It was a 3 week recovery from the painful abdominal incisions!
But even with laproscopy, it is still a serious operation because gall bladder is adjacent to very vital organs such as the pancreas and liver.
