success story! 2.5 months post-op
i am almost 3 months post-op. i know there are a lot of horror stories on here, and they are valid too! but i really believe that most people who have theirs removed don't even think about it anymore after a couple weeks, thus they are not in this group anymore.
my post-op pain was not that bad, had a little twinging in my side for a few weeks while the area healed. i can eat whatever i want with no symptoms. i forget that i do not have a gallbladder. i have not had one single episode of diarrhea post-op. i feel exactly the same as i did before my issues started.
i'm not trying to brag or sway anyone one way or the other, but success stories helped me a lot when i was sick and contemplating surgery, so i wanted to share mine and thank you all for this community that literally saved my life. ask me anything you want!
