I have had one episode of acute
cholecystitis resluting in admission to
hospital (morphine, antiemetics) then
antibiotics for two weeks. Ultrasound
showed lots of small stones in
gallbladder. This was 9 months ago.
Since then, no further problems at all -
fit and well. I am due to have a
cholecystectomy very soon. My question
is, do I reallly need one? In view of the
fact that I am completely symptomless and
as there can be (albeit uncommon)
complications fromm the surgery should I
just go ahead with this based on one
single episode of acute cholecystistis?
Also I have read that some people have a
lot of symptoms post operatively, pain,
diarrheas etc. What to do................
