N.F.
Hi B., I had my gall bladder removed laparoscopically when I was 23. I had gall stones and they were causing tremendous pain whenever I ate anything fatty or greasy. The procedure was a snap. So easy, outpatient and minimal pain. Honestly it was the best thing they could have done for me. I've never had the pain again, though I will say that I am unable to tollerate super fatty or greasy foods well. I'm a very healthy eater as it is, but once in a while I like to indulge and I just notice that it does upset my stomach, although NO WHERE NEAR the kind of pain I was experiencing w/the gall stones. My Mother & Grandmother also subsequently had the same procedure and both are also doing fine and pleased w/the results. As for recovery, I just had to take it easy for a couple of days laying on the couch. The scars are teeny tiny. When I wear a bikini no one can even tell. Hope this helps!
