Is it time to remove my gallbladder?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

My name is and I'm 26 years old. I was diagnosed with

gallstones about 5 years ago and my attacks can be quite severe and

seem to be happening more regularly. If I'm not in full attack mode,

I have a really strong sick feeling in the area of my gallbladder.

I have done a few cleanses now, which have all been successful in

passing stones, but it doesn't seem to be stopping the pain.

My doctor has arranged for a consultation with a surgeon in about a

weeks time. This will be my second consultation in 4 years.

I am very leary about side effects if I do decide to have the

surgery. I'm also very tired of the pain...it has caused me to miss

several weeks from work and its not getting any better.

Any thoughts/ suggestions/ opinions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
