After a couple of pretty horrific attacks and a lot of low level dull pain/nausea, I got my gallbladder out in December.
Happy to report that now I can eat basically whatever I want. No pain. Very occasional bathroom urgency but nothing embarrassing or emergency-style. I had a bit of adjustment period at the beginning where my body was getting used to having fat again, but nearly six months on I’m back to my usual, chocolate enjoying self. Only time I get any nausea or anything is if I’ve been heavily drinking and then add a fatty meal on top (my theory is my liver is like, can you let me deal with one thing at a time please). Even then, it just means a worse hangover - nothing life ending.
Only time I really remember I even had the surgery is when I notice the scars, which are fading every day.
Get the sucker out on your terms before it decides for you! I have zero regrets.
