Hi Everyone
I am having my Gallbladder romoved tomorrow, because of gallstone. I was
talking to my doctor today about pcos and gallbladder and she said its not
unusal for women to have gallbladder problem and that its not linked to
PCOS. She said most women have to have theres romoved... Just wanted to
share that with everyone..
