>>>>> Hi I just had baby tree months ago and last week I had my gallbladder removed trough a laparoscopic surgery. The pain of a goldstone was ten times worst than giving birth. My mother and grand mother had the same problem and they were told after their surgery to take a “gallbladder substitute pill” for life and change their diet, however my doctor says it is not necessary. If someone has an opinion about this manner please let me know, about the laparoscopy,do it!! It is worth it.
