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.

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

Checking out some back pain, Dr. discovered a bunch of gall stones that had never been a problem, but he recommended removing my gall bladder. So out it went. Easy and fast.

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

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