JC ..

my wife had her gall bladder removed within a year of her triple bypass .. which was five years ago next month....

strange to find that heart surgery seems to bring about gall bladder problems in a high percentage of patients ...

the ONLY problem resulting from gb removal, and I find this to be prevalent in most of the heart patients I know personally who've had gb removal is ------>

intake of fatty foods in any quantity causes minor to severe stomach pain and discomfort ....
so, as we *(I'm the chief cooker person in the family) watch the fat grams for the heart friendly diet anyway there isn't much problem ...

but

when she "splurges" and eats several meals with high fat content .....
she pays a price ....

that, however, is the only drawback from the operation ... which was a laparoscopy, and, indeed, as BS reported, the resultant scars are dotted in nature ....

I did have one friend who had a "triple" ....
his operations were as follows and done at the same time ..
1) circumsion
2) hemmroidectomy
3) gall bladder removal

he did well, but did admit the triple was a bit much ..... but he was trying to save time and money .... ggggg

good luck

ps .. I'm too tired from working in the yard all day to look up the correct spelling on the ops .... gggg
