Hi,
I am 23 years old Female from India. Couple of months back I was diagnosed with Gallstone. The ultrasound report says I have 14mm stone in gall bladder. The doctor says it would require laproscopic surgery.
He said that I will be fine in few days and start eating normally. I read some articles on internet that said almost same thing. But recently I came across a website where people who had the gallstone surgery posted their experience.
I have gotten very scared since reading their views. They all seemed better before the surgery. All of them complaint about extreme pain and diarrhea even year after the surgery. They have to be admitted to hospital several times and had to go through various treatment but still not feeling well.
All this has scared me and now I have second thoughts about having surgery. I am actually depressed now. What should I do. Please advice.
As for now I get mild pain in the middle of stomach but not strong enough to take painkiller. Apart from that I have gastric issues.

I know quite a few people who have had this operation and they all say how much better they feel afterwards. We are all different and I suppose it is a question of how you feel yourself and what would be best for you, no one can tell ou what to do.
For gastric issues I would see if you can get a doctor to prescribe you omeprazole. I do not know if you can get them where you live.
Take care and keep in touch
Prayering for you
Love Sarah

it is true that many people have diarrhea problems after gallbladder removal. I am also one of those people. The truth is your body does have to get used to not having a storage tank for bile. Instead, the bile drips directly into your intestines. For some people, like myself, this irritates the intestines and can cause you to need to go to the bathroom after each meal.
for many people, this goes away. For others, you may have to take questran to help - and it does help.
