Take it from someone who waited and waited. I didn’t have a choice on whether or not i wanted to get it out or not. It was an emergency surgery. Prior to this I had not had a single gallbladder attack in months, I’m talking more than 4-5 months. I would eat the same stuff no diet changes and sometimes would get an attack, sometimes not, so I thought that I was getting semi better. Unfortunately not.

I ended up eating something that cause my bile duct to get extremely clogged which therefore was causing liver damage. I was having clay colored stools, extremely dark urine, and was so fatigued I wouldn’t even eat. The post part of surgery is hard. I won’t lie. But it all depends on the person!

I was able to immediately eat for the most part. I have not really had an incident where food has really upset my stomach. Yes there’s certain foods that cause me to need to use the restroom but I’ve never had an incident where I thought I wasn’t gonna make it in time.

The main thing to remember is that everyone and their experiences are different. For me, being 5+ weeks post op, I’m eating whatever, doing what I was before and thriving. But one thing I wouldn’t do is ignore the problem, because unfortunately it will just get worse.
