so I had my gallbladder taken out one year ago. And and let me tell you for something you can live with out can make your life a living hell. I'm talking about sharp, stabbing, in seconds breath taking, drop to the floor type pain that doesn't go away and the watching what you eat because the second you eat anything high in fat. Will have you running for the toilet. And let's not forget about the hemorrhoids that love to pop up and allow you to suffer the most uncomfortable, itchy, bloody mess ever! Who knew something so small could prevent all this. I have talked to the surgeon since and he said it's all normal and to watch the fat in foods. RANT OVER!
