Gall Bladder Removal

[Terry]

Hi all,

Felt yucky last Thursday night and finally went to the hospital in my small town. Had a knot on my right side and stomach ache. They diagnosed me as a Gall Bladder inflammation and shipped me to Hays by ambulance.

Thursday night, took tests, and found 2 or 3 gall stones but mainly the gall bladder had been damaged from "Deep Fried Southern Cooking." They removed the gall bladder by 4 small incisions and brought it out through the belly button. Back home now and doing fine. Have resolved to quit blowing my diet and start eating healthy.

It is amazing what the doctor's can do in this modern technology. Just thought some of you might be interested in my story.

Did they give you any of the gallstones as souvenirs? When they took out my gallbladder they gave me a gallstone that was about 1/2 by 1/4 inch in size.

My diet prior to having gallstones was not what I would have considered unhealthy - I was no fan of greasy or fried foods, among other things.
