Dragonfly....thanks for your reply and sorry to hear of your experience too! I am almost ashamed of myself in going along with the GB surgery without a second opinion because I spent 15 years in the medical field until 6 years ago and always preached the "second opinion" line to friends and family members. But did I follow my own advice??? NO!!!! I instead let myself get "dupped" into believing that my GB was going to decay inside me if I didn't have it removed. And a HUGE reason why I believed that is because my wonderful Aunt died at age 52 (I'm 51 now) of Gallbladder Pancreatitis and I was so afraid that it was going to happen to me too if I didn't go along with it. I truly believed it was hereditary because I do have so much family history of GB disease.

Can't cry over it now like the GI doc said.......damage done, can't grow a new GB!!!

Thanks for "reading" and best wishes to us ALL!!!
