Gallbladder update

[keyslover]

Got into the doc today and had an ultrasound. 5mm blockage - either sludge or stone the radiologist wasn't sure. I have to call a surgeon Tuesday to discuss options.

Anyone ever successfully tried a gallbladder cleanse?

Not sure what a cleanse is, but I asked my doc about some of the things that would supposedly break the stones up. That was a no go. The pieces can move to other organs and cause worse issues. I don't regret getting mine out at all. After recovery (which wasn't bad other than me vomiting from the pain pills) and some temporary digestive issues, I felt so much better. Much better to schedule it at your convenience than to have emergency surgery.
