If you have paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) you will be at a slightly higher risk for any surgery.\n\nYour surgeon will take precautions to prevent blood clots forming (more likely in PNH pts) and will check all your blood work prior to surgery.\n\nIt is better to have the gall bladder out as an elective procedure than to wait until things get bad and it's an emergency.

You are absolutely correct when you say that some of these tests are inaccurate.My sister who was 47 was diagnosed with gall stones and it took weeks for her to get the surgery and it was then they discovered she had 3rd stage pancreatic cancer.Do yourself a favour and get that mri sooner rather than later to ensure a correct diagnosis. Hope it all goes well.

Gallbladder Removal?\nA friend of mine had her gallbladder taken out. Ever since she has problems digesting food. If I were you and it was not an emergency, I would first look for a gentle solution. \n\nThere are natural solutions to clear out the ducts, stones etc. A naturopathic (NMD, ND) or even a homeopathic physician may be able to help. (Phone book of your area.) You may also want to look in the book Healthy Healing by Linda Rector Page.\n\nDinshah would use the Dinshah colors Lemon and Orange for gallstones. Dinshah was an ingenious physician from India, who healed his first color patient with an indigo colored bottle. The patient was given up to die by his colleagues, but thanks to Dinshah's color treatments, she was up in three days! (About Dinshah Color MedicineTM see www.biochakra.com.)\n\nI like to think about our body of being complete with all organs needed.\n\nMake a wise decision for yourself.\nCordially, India.Magica

This is a relatively simple and safe surgery. I had my gall bladder removed a few years ago. You may want to ask your doctor about special diet considerations after the surgery as sometimes the fat in my body doesnt metabolize since the surgery. This varies from person to person. All will be well with your mom =) Its a very simple procedure and I was back to work the next day.

If nothing solid is going in then i expect you'll have notihing solid to come out! Maybe that is why they suggest you do the diet so you wont need to use your bowles and also they could be seeing if you are determined about it and will stick to the diet after your operation?. Very best of luck with the surgery though x

You need to have your gall bladder removed.  ASAP!  \n\nWhy why why would you ask a medical question like that and think you will get a correct answer.  See your doctor.  It's your health we're talking about.  Not a recipe for chocolate cake!

ESWL is not used for treatment for gall bladder stone due to the increase like hood of recurrent gall stone they are usually treated by lap cholecystectomy\none of my professors  told that while you are crushing a gallstone by ESWL another one is forming

aramse.the function of the gallbladder is to concentrate your bile and nothing else. bile is produced by liver and the water content is almost 95-96% when it is released from liver. it then comes into our gallbladder just to have some water absorbed and then the water content diminishes down to 87-88%. that's all. rest of all the contents of the bile which is necessary to keep up ur important body functions are retained as previous. so there should not be any problem. but be careful with fatty foods especially in the parties. it may produce some gastric discomfort as the bile is not so concentrated to digest the fatty foods properly. apart from this there is no problem.\nprobably u r recently going to have cholecystectomy.don't worry, u will be as well after the operation as u were before.

This does not sound like Gallbladder disease. I would suggest seeing a doctor ASAP. This sounds more serious, and I really do not want to speculate at this time as to what I think it is. PLEASE, PLEASE go to the doctor. Your health is important!!

I gave my husband a "Gallbladder Flush" a couple of months ago...and he has not had another attack since....\nYou need 1 liter of pure virgin olive oil, lemon juice, V-8 or pineapple juice.\n\nWhat to do:  Fast for at least 12-24 hours before the flush,( also it is best to do the flush when you don't have anywhere to be for a couple of days.)  Drink 1/4 cup of olive oil followed by 2 Tbs. of lemon juice.  Do that every 15 minutes until all the olive oil is gone.  If you feel sick at your stomach, drink a very small amount of V-8 or Pineapple juice, then continue as soon as you can.  When it is all gone, just lay down on your right side and just wait.  He had results in about 3 hours, but sometimes can take longer.\nHe had to go to the bathroom alot, and felt bad at the time, but he did pass alot of bile and gallstones.  His doctor said it was perfectly safe to do this, and he had not had any problems since.\nGood Luck

1. as far as your gall bladder problem, several studies have shown that fatty meals may not play as much of a role in the colicky type of pain associated with either stones or a malfunctioning gall bladder, however all the patients I treat and including myself who has what is called "cholelithiasis" find that certain meals will set off an attack. It is probably a good idea when you eat to have several small meals per day rather than the traditional three meals. Smaller portions throughout the day may help with your gall bladder pains.\n2. Now for your diagnosis of IBS. This is usually a diagnosis of exclusion which means you must rule out other more ominous causes, ie. Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis both can be detected with a colonoscopy. Additionally, you should be tested for what is called "gluten sensitivity" and "celiac sprue". There are blood tests that can shed light on these disorders such as a test called "gliadin antibodies". Your GI doctor may also want to take some biopsies of your colon during the colonscopy so a Pathologist can microscopically determine what type if any inflammation is going on and what the mucosal lining of the intestine looks like. Flattening of the mucosa may be indicative of some of the diseases I mentioned previously. \n3. When you go out to eat, the problem is that if you are allergic to peanuts, many times they will cook with peanut oil and there may even be remnants of peanuts or the oil in preparing your food. This can be very dangerous. I had a patient several years ago who was allergic to peanuts and ate out at McDonalds I believe and there were trace amounts of peanuts or peanut oil which threw him into anaphylactic shock; thank goodness he survived. So you have to be very very careful and let the restaurant know that you are allergic to peanuts, oils, or any by product of peanuts. \nI hope this helps you. You should speak to a Gastroenterologist and have a colonoscopy and some blood work to check for the antibodies. Gluten sensitivity usually goes hand in hand with wheat allergies. There are newer medications that will help with irritable bowel syndrome. Zelnorm is the one that comes to mind. For some reason when it first came to market it was only for women, I assume because most cases of IBS are in females, but more recent studies show that it can be effective in relieving the symptoms of IBS in men too.\nRegards,\nWarren Shaffer, M.D.

He is probably going to have laproscopic surgery, which involves making 3-4 very small incisions in your abdomen to insert a small camera, and two surgical instruments that snip the galbladder and cauterize the area to stop any bleeding.  The contents are removed through these small openings.  I've seen this surgery and have had it personally.  He'll be fine and will be up and around in a few days.  It's slightly uncomfortable, but nothing to worry about as long as you do what your doctor orders.  Good luck and blessings.

No you don't need surgery. Avoid it if possible.\nStones can be flushed out.\n\n\nCleansing the liver of gallstones dramatically improves digestion, which is the basis of your whole health. You can expect your allergies to disappear, too, more with each cleanse you do! Incredibly, it also eliminates shoulder, upper arm, and upper back pain. You have more energy and an increased sense of well being.\n\nCleaning the liver bile ducts is the most powerful procedure that you can do to improve your body's health. But it should not be done before the parasite program, and for best results should follow the kidney cleanse.\n\nIt is the job of the liver to make bile, 1 to 1½ quarts in a day! The liver is full of tubes (biliary tubing) that deliver the bile to one large tube (the common bile duct). The gallbladder is attached to the common bile duct and acts as a storage reservoir. Eating fat or protein triggers the gallbladder to squeeze itself empty after about twenty minutes, and the stored bile finishes its trip down the common bile duct to the intestine. \n\nThe problem can be solved in one day.\n\nhttp://www.drclark.net/en/drclark_protocol/illnesses/liver_cleanse.php

Could be bad enough that surgery is required; you will need to know the CIN numbers (invasion level).  Surgery could potentially be inpatient and could be cryo.
