no. but if I were you I wouldn't try to flush them. that is very dangerous you might get stones in your bile ducts. and have to be rushed to hospital. I take it you are not that ill from this.

that was me too. I had multiple stones and was so sick. The doctor told me the only way to get well is to have it removed. He was right. I lost 35 pounds because I couldn't eat anything except yourgart and bananas. A year and a half I gained all my weight back. I just have to watch fat intake. Drink plenty of water and juices and eat fruits. you will lose weigbt friend. Good Luck to you.

i have to totally agree with every word fernando . has said and i really would not try those bull**** flushes very dangerous indeed for you !
i also lost 70 pounds in weight as i had a large 2.2cm stone lodged in my gallbladder neck for nearly 3 years and ended up with a gangrenous gallbladder full of pus and like fernando i was extremely ill.
i also have gained all the weight back over 18 monthes , but i am still in pain all day each day and have very light colour stools.
i wish you well in the weight loss however if you do not lose it i assure you , you will lose anyway when you become very ill , i lost 5 stone in 6 weeks and all the weight has gone back on but only in the midrift sadly.

Hi there. mrsoscared. Wow I read you are still having problems. I'm sorry to hear that. I myself sometimes get ill because I cheat sometimes and because of that I get ill. But I must say not as sick as before the surgery. Hope you a well life friend. Bye.

my old soldier lol.
what a life ah !
yes still in pain daily still pale stools ive given up with the docs here their a joke.
ive put like 35 kilos in weight back on , and im a fatty again lol but to be honest fernando. i do not do myself any favors , i eat what i want mostly and mostly all the wrong foods so im too weak lol.

hope your doing well friend.

Hello Brandon, I agree with the comments, it is a bad idea to try to flush out gallstones....the last thing you want is them moving around, it has worked for some people, while others have regretted it. I can see hoping it would work, to avoid surgery, sounds great but, it is an emergency if one gets stuck & blocks normal functions!! All surgery has risk no matter what your physical stature but, if your Dr. has told you to lose weight, you should definitely try, as sometimes they will not do surgery under certain conditions that they deem too risky!! Have you asked your Dr. what the risks vs. benefits are specifically?If it's ONLY your weight, you may want to ask your Dr. to visit a Dietitian, to find the best way to lose weight in a healthy way, changing eating patterns, controlling hunger & cravings?! Cutting overall calories & being aware of liquid calories is a good start(juice, soda, smoothies, coffee drinks & etc..)have lots of hidden calories! I wish I could be more helpful, I really hope you can NEVER have another GB attack, it is terrible dealing with symptoms, surgery & all that goes with it....Best Wishes to you, hopefully all goes well & you are better soon!!🌈💒☮🍀

i think im more scared of the whole severe sleep apnea part and gallstone surgery:(

Hi Brandon, Did your Dr. express concern over the sleep apnea? In surgery you are intubated, even if you experienced sleep apnea, due to obstruction or any other reason, the tube is in & you could still breath, it stays in, until your vitals are stable & you respond to stimuli(start waking up)....being monitored, if your O2 were to drop for ANY reason, they would know!! Be sure they know, tell EVERYBODY, they can prepare & prevent any issues that may concern you!! I have non-obstructive sleep apnea, was worried about the deep sleep causing it but, having had MANY surgeries & procedures, I have never had an issue....talk to your anesthesiologist, before surgery, if you have concerns!! I wish you all the best with your surgery, hopefully your anxiety gets better, do whatever you need to for your peace of mind!!☮🍀❤
