"Yes I have. I have no issues with food at all, I can eat anything. I was worried I'd have to avoid fatty foods, but I'm fine!" Same here. | |||

"I am very jealous of the people who have no problems... It has ruined my quality of life, but the pain before hand....wow! " Have you spoken to your GP about it? | |||

"I had my removed about 21 years ago, if I eat crap sometimes. I get the old pain back , ideally I think your supposed to change your diet. Wooky" My consultant told me I would noe be able to eat fat (which I don't like anyway). Whatever I eat gives me a stomach ache now, so I'm trying the FODMAP diet. | |||

"It's surprising how many people have had it out. We probably all have the same scars " It’s apparently really common, I hadn’t heard of gallbladder stones before, I suffered nearly ten years of pains I couldn’t understand then it all hit at once, went from a size 14/16 to a 6 in 4 months, had the stones keep getting lodged outside the gallbladder! Practically moved into the hospital for those 4 months and they got it out as an emergency in the end. When they did a scan they originally couldn’t find it as it was so full I still have the odd ‘attack’ and that’s scary when you know it’s all gone but such a relief now | |||

"Yes I have. I have no issues with food at all, I can eat anything. I was worried I'd have to avoid fatty foods, but I'm fine!" No side effects for me since removal either. Except in the week or so after the op when i had Richmond sausages as I didn't think. Put me off for life. It felt like my body was asking the gall bladder to do its job but hadn't hadn't realised it was there any more. Pain was immense. But since then no issues. Fatty bacon, creamy curries, cheesy cheesy cheesy pizza. Haven't felt like food leaves my body faster either. | |||

"Following with interest as I'm currently going through the process of various scans etc that have shown I have gallstones and it's likely I will be minus a gallbladder at some point in the not too distant future - consultant has said it's likely anyway, just pending the result of a CT scan to confirm the procedure they'll need to follow." I was told it's more common in women and every consultant j spoke with joked it was worse than labour pains. When my pain started I knew what it was as both my mum and her sister went though the same thing in their early forties. It came for me at 29 so I was able to tell my gp straight away I had a good idea that it was. It still took almost 12 months to have all the scans and investigations done. 3 hospital stays in that time because you just don't know what will set you off. I lived off chicken soup and fruit for a long time. | |||

I lived off chicken soup and fruit for a long time. " Bizarrely I've not had a great deal of pain more severe discomfort - particularly after food - and to be honest I'm still not sure how serious my condition is, when I first went to the GP it was a remote appointment and he suspected either gallstones or a bacterial infection so went down both routes of investigation. The bacterial infection proved to be there, and was fixed with antibiotics - but he told me to still go for the scan to check for gallstones - which they found, along with a thickening of the gallbladder wall, hence the referral to a consultant. The discomfort has largely gone following the antibiotics, but do still get twinges after eating etc - so will see, had a CT scan on Sunday and await the outcome of that. | |||
