After enduring months of painful chest cramps I went to the er and now 16hours later I am scheduled for gallbladder surgery! My nerves are shot! I've already had three heart attacks, plus have b12 deficiency anemia, hypothyroidism, and am wondering how losing my gallbladder is going to effect me in the long term. Golly I'm freaking out! I hate hospitals anyway and only come when serious. Hope I can drum up some support to help me through this mess. Peace and strength, john.

I had my gallbladder out, I was warned that I wouldn't be able to eat spicy foods anymore... but they were wrong... there was is no difference in how I live my life... I eat the same, feel the same... it's one of those organs that in teh long run isn't totally necessary.

I was about to do something awesome again, but I told myself, "Enough is enough! That's plenty of awesome for one day."
