    Hi Vivian:. i use to have really bad has pains and heartburn too before i had my gallbladder out. when that happened i tried a cold glass of water or a warm cup of teaif you drink tea, that would usually calm down the hallbladder. take care and let me know if that helps.

      hi Vivian:. I understand. i had the same pains and sometimes the pains were so bad i was kneeling over in pain. i had alot of small gallstones before my gallbladder out last year in february. when you do go in for surgery. hopefully they will do the larascopi .. it is much faster healing process.

      it is alot easier . the only things that bothered me is the cramping afterwards and the poops and gas. but the cramps are normal and so is the poops. the cramps are from when the organs are moving back in place be because the surgeon uses a special has to inflate your abdomen so he can see what he is doing. the other problem is you will have to watch the greasy and spicy foods for awhile. but it also depends on the person too.
