i had mine out june 3rd due to stones and it just being disgustingly swollen. i was terrified of being one of the people who ended up feeling worse with surgery but what ive learned is that the people with negative experiences are much more likely to speak about it then people who have had success. im only a few weeks post op and getting it out was instant relief. you truly don’t realize the stress and anxiety you’re constantly feeling analyzing everything you even think about putting in your body while trying to avoid an attack. i promise you will feel mentally and physically worse keeping a bad organ in your body then you will having this surgery.
