What is the medical term for having your gall bladder removed?

I'm not saying that I was familiar with all but whoever picked lobotomy... probably had it already... :D

I actually ended up having this done at the age of 19. Doctors thought I had an ulcer, but after Zantac(Rx at the time) did nothing for it, an ultrasound showed 7 stones completely blocking off my bile duct. Easiest surgery of my life. Please don't wait penawareof and good luck. :)

penawareof, Do not put the surgery off , my relative died with surgery complications from waiting too long.

process of elimination 🙂

I probably need one of these. I have alot of trouble after I eat and yellow movements at times.

Soleil10001, I'd prefer a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

Rand Al'Thor, Very good comment, but the really interesting bit is : How many surgeries have you had so that this is the easiest?

Knew this pressed wrong button by mistake

having suffered cholestasis (ICP) made that question even easier to answer

penawareof, my mom died 1 yr after removal of her gallbladder she had cancer
