Two years ago I had a wonky hyperparathyroid thing going on, and had a parathyroidectomy. Very little pain, the IV was the most painful part of it all, and I went home that afternnon. <br /><br />At least you will never have to worry about gallstones. There is that. mittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04878611591683283429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970111941968077431.post-80593170371944634222018-09-05T00:46:09.268-07:002018-09-05T00:46:09.268-07:00I see which way you are leaning, but if you have t...I see which way you are leaning, but if you have the gall bladder out and then have another attack, does that mean the gall bladder was okay and should have stayed? If only we could unzip ourselves and ask "how you doing in there? everyone okay?" I would have thought a few tests were in order, blood test, ultrasound, just to check everything is looking and working as it should.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970111941968077431.post-46158712121679763422018-09-04T06:32:18.231-07:002018-09-04T06:32:18.231-07:00I'd say only you can make that decision, becau...I'd say only you can make that decision, because only you know what it's like to experience the symptoms!

Even after you have your gallbladder out you can get pancretitis...it happened to my brother after his gallbladder was removed...then he had to have another surgery...the Doc said he too long to have his gallbladder out. Usually it is a simple laproscopic surgery, I felt so much better after mine was removed:) Just my opinion:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970111941968077431.post-79859278714933785662018-09-03T12:34:15.046-07:002018-09-03T12:34:15.046-07:00I too would adopt the wait and see approach.
