Gall Bladder Transplant

[hope4me791]

I have made the biggest mistake of my life. I had my gallbladder removed, which I felt rushed into by the surgeon, because I had polyps (very small). For some stupid reason I listenend to his bad advise and got it removed. I feel TERRIBLE!! I'm experiencing terrible digestion problems, which I never had before. I have taken enzymes, etc. all to no avail. All of this is a result of the gallbladder removal. Is there such a thing as a gall bladder transplant? I can't live like this...I would definitely have it done. I know this may sound drastic to you (but not to me)...live in my shoes for one day and tell me how drastic it really is.

Four years after cholecystectomy I'm now permanently on morphine and still in pain! Can't even continue with a part-time job! Total misery! Had stones twice in the remaining duct and now have been referred to a Liver Unit! God only knows how long that will take as had to wait two years to get in to the Pain Clinic (only to be given Gabapentin after no consultation or examination at all)
If I were a dog, they would've put me down years ago!
So, I'm not giving you a hope or advice at all!
I've found out that screaming and crying might get you some more tests!
All the best,
Take care,
Ekaterina

Seek a medical attorney if you feel that the remedy suggested was done by force without time to consider the proper treatment. Their has been records of transplant of the gallbladder, having a medical degree in practice does not solvent the specialized field of surgery. Quite truthfully an organ work with a organ system to perform a function removing a function decrease efficiency.

ur talking crap.they perform soooo many of these operations and how many of them r 4 saving lives?im sure only a very small percentage is in order to save a life&most of them r just destroying lives...as bile reflux-which is common after gallbladder removal can cause stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer and throat cancer and more.so **** that

I would think with all the new transplants like heart and lungs by now something  so simple that doctors don't think is so important to the human body we should have a new method . This would help people and save money.

I noticed that drinking tap water would cause diarrhea ( I also have gallbladder removed, also think unnecessarily). So I try to drink only bottled water. Eating sour cream causes diarrhea, better to avoid it or use minimal amount, sparingly. Butter is OK, even, possibly, also oil is necessary to support ongoing amount of fat in a stomach to let the bile to do it's job of digesting fat, since bile now is not stored and delivered from gallbladder on order, but drips from the duct off the liver into the stomach all the time little by little, as soon as it is produced by the liver. If person does not eat enough fat, the bile will have nothing to do and will cause diarrhea, plus will agitate the channels that come into intestines from Pancreas. Pancreas can get tired of it and eventually get deceased, causing diabetes. After 3 years post surgery I got acid reflex, and avoided certain foods instead of just adjusting my behavior (no heavy work, banging over or laying down after the meal for 30 min.) Avoiding certain foods ( I thought they are acidic) caused me low potassium, which caused heart palpitations. When I watch potassium, I do not have palpitations. Gained weight, yes.

I have also had my hall bladder out for 8 years now.. My doctor gives me phenergan like its candy because I stay so nauseous. I could eat something one day and be fine but another day with the exact same food may leave me in the bathroom. It does not get better, I hate it. At the time I was only 14 and my gallbladder had all but stopped working (only 19% worked) I didn't have a choice. Definitely would do a transplant if it was ever possible
