I had a gall bladder attack some ten years ago. I was in the hospital for three days. They had no idea what was wrong with me. First thoghts were heart trouble. Then kidney, then gall stones. The Gaastrointestinal Doc comes in and says that he wants to remove my gall bladder and that this is his bread and butter procedure.
I told him very politly that i was not there to butter his bread!
I still have my gall bladder and it works just fine. I do try to watch what I eat and have lost lot's of weight over the years.
