Have you had your gall bladder removed?

I had mine removed back in 1989. I kept putting it off and ended up getting pancreatitis. I had to stay in the hospital for a week to get well enough for surgery. My stones were like gravel and my bile duct was blocked, I had to have conventional surgery and came home with a T-tube in case any more Stone's were left behind. The doctor gave me my stones in a bottle, I counted them and there was 72, not counting some that were in my bile duct. I almost died from it, I think the body can only hurt so bad. I hurt so bad at times you could have cut my leg off and I wouldn't have noticed. I felt so good after the surgery I put a 727 in a couple weeks later with a T-tube in my abdomen and 27 staples!
