I was a child, but I still remember her crying with pain. <br /><br />Let's just say she was/is really happy she got it removed. <br /><br />I am sure everything will be fine.Fabiolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734581518242981236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446247397575540582.post-79112906944407638962010-08-21T15:49:34.902+05:002010-08-21T15:49:34.902+05:00I´ve had mine removed, and have had no problems af...I´ve had mine removed, and have had no problems after. It was a simple procedure with very little pain. That´s what I was most afraid of, the pain. But it was really very mild and I was back to normal within the week.<br />Of course there are always the "other" things that can happen (I won´t tell you about my dad´s experience) but you just have to have faith that all will go well. The bad cases are in the minority.Betty Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357132033070346815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446247397575540582.post-11415832500050414942010-08-21T10:10:17.147+05:002010-08-21T10:10:17.147+05:00Everyone I know that has had the gallbladder remov...Everyone I know that has had the gallbladder removed has been happy to have done it.

Makes sense to do a 'preemptive attack' on the matter. You will not have the anxiety of having the problem emerge when you are not able to easily get help. So, I say 'go for it'.mythopolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03164758700393086005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446247397575540582.post-695885898929850822010-08-20T17:56:32.309+05:002010-08-20T17:56:32.309+05:00My 2 cents... get it removed BG!

It is bound to become an issue at some point. Just deal with it proactively. You will be in good hands and will be able to plan everything ahead of time such as child care.<br /><br />I've had friends who had them removed and they have no problems whatsoever. They only wish they had done it sooner. Before it became a problem and extremely painful.<br /><br />Don't read stuff on internet. People love to complain and over exaggerate. And frankly people who have a pleasant experience don't even bother posting anything.<br /><br />It is kinda when you are pregnant for the first time. Some women LOVE to tell you how extremely painful it is. They almost brag about it and tell you horror stories. And then they recommend books that are so negative and scary that they scare you to death! So just ignore the negativity.<br /><br />You are strong and healthy. Take care of it now. Why wait?<br /><br />BTW... I had certain stuff removed awhile back and was terrified of the surgery. Everything went fabulously but I do have some lessons learned for my next surgery. Maybe I should do a post about that:)<br /><br />Good luck sweetie with whatever decision you make:)Scriber's Webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07803471612613530387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446247397575540582.post-62042633652574405612010-08-20T17:22:37.599+05:002010-08-20T17:22:37.599+05:00My sister in law had hers removed a month or so ag...My sister in law had hers removed a month or so ago. No problems- hers was not an emergency either. A friend had emergency gall bladder surgery many years ago - no problem. There were several folks in our church that were having some pretty serious symptoms that the doctor's could not at first identify. Turned out it was their gal bladder and as far as I know, have had no problems since removal.<br /><br />Your reasons for having it done where you are now are pretty sound and strong reasons. Best luck with the decision!larkswinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07945496247329378715noreply@blogger.com
