to have my gall bladder removed and thank

starting then. I was in and out of the hospital
in a couple of days instead of the weeks of
hospitalization that most gall bladder operations required
up to then.
Good luck!

I didn't think of gall bladder, but that could be it, too. I need mine out,
but mine is complicated from my previous surgeries. I can't get it done
laparoscopically (I have no belly button) and my lower abdominals have been
removed to rebuild my chest. The complication is that the muscles' blood
supply is still attached to my waistline. If a surgeon cuts through that
blood supply, the muscles die.

So, to help avoid more surgery, I have once again drastically changed my
diet. Pretty soon I'll be down to just water. :-/
