Overall Rating:4.33 based on 3 ratings
The Gallbladder provides extra bile to help break down fatty foods. When the gallbladder isn't working properly, it can lead to severe stomach pain and vomiting. In these cases, it is usually recommended that the gallbladder be removed by surgery. About 700K gallbladders are removed annually in the US. (Add picture)

I had mine out last summer at the age of 22 after a year of attacks,I was embarrassed to go to the doctor at first because I thought it was indegestion,the attacks lasted up to 12 hours and where horrific,I had them every time i eat fried fatty foods.finally i went to a doctor on campus and he patted my stomach and said it was an ulcer,finally sometime later I went to the ER and they did a songram and found stones in my gall bladder and then tried to do it laparascopically,but my gall bladder fell apart while they did it so I had to wear a tube for a week or so,all in all it was not bad,the attacks where the worst part,and not knowing what it was.

i had this done when i was 23 years old. it was such a relief not to have the stomach pains i had prior. i was in the hospital for two days and i now have a scar that runs across my stomach but it was worth getting rid of the pain.

I recently had my gallbladder removed through laparoscopic surgery, which can be done without cutting the muscles of your abdomen. I received (2) 1 incisions and (2) 1/4 incisions. The recovery time is less than a week and the pain is minimal. Prior to the surgery the pain from the gallbladder attacks was horrible. The signs are classic, lower abdominal pain, usually right side running into the back and hurting into the shoulder blades.
