I believe that surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) would solve most of your digestive problems. especially the pain. There is no way you can dissolve those stones except to remove the whole gallbladder.

Thank you . I was a bit discouraged by some of the horror stories, Especially since my symptoms are atypical, but every doctor seems sure cholecystectomy will help. I will be checking into hospital this Monday then.
I will post again once I recover to let you know how it went.

You are welcome in any time and I hope you will get better.

It's been 2 weeks since I had my gallbladder removed, and I thought I'd post an update. Hopefully people who need to get this done will see that it does not always end in horrible after effects, diahrea, or other bad symptoms of postcholecystectomy syndrome.

I was in hospital for a total of 5 days, I checked in monday, had the operation on tuesday and checked out friday. It turned out, during the operation, that I had extremely atypical anatomy and the operation lasted 2.5 hours. Despite complications, I had an excellent surgeon, who continued the surgery laparoscopicaly, even though by all rights he should have converted to an open procedure.

I slept most of the first 18 hours after the operation due to exaustion and painkillers. It was difficult to get out of bed first and I had considerable pain from my wounds only. Thankfully it turned out this was due to the 20-30cm drain tube they had in my liver. 90% of my pain was gone after they removed it 2 days post-op, and I could walk slowly.

As of right now my wounds look like small scratches and here's the best part......... ALL OF MY DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS ARE GONE I feel young again at 22 because the last year was hell in comparison. So far I've been able to eat anything without any problems but I haven't pushed it to the point of for example eating a whole pizza or topping up on beer at the pub ect.

They even gave me my gallstones as a souvenir. It turns out I had 33 gallstones the size of large marbles which filled 95-100% of my gallbladders volume. Doctors viewing the ultrasound said I had innumerable very small gallstones which turned out not be the case. My only regret is that I didn't get it done earlier

I am glad to hear that abdominal pains are gone and you are fine now.
