I agree 100%. We should all band together to raise awareness about the fact that doctors withhold information and lie about gall bladder removal. They say you don't need your gall bladder which is totally untrue - just because you can live without it doesn't mean you don't NEED it!!! Also, they hardly ever tell you what to expect after the surgery. I complained to my surgeon and he got tired of hearing from me and told me he thought I needed a boyfriend... how's that for compassion!! Sometimes surgery is necessary, but way too many surgeries are performed now that laparascopic surgery is so readily available. Doctors need to back off on throwing people on the operating table so quickly AND make sure they give us proper information to make informed decisions.

I had my gb out about 1 1/2 years ago. Ever since then I have severe constipation, cramping and have been unable to loose the weight. I have tried every laxitive on the market and even some that weren't. The doctors think that I am crazy and tell me that it is all in my head. The pain is unreal and the best way that I know how to describe it is that it's worse than labor. I have never had problems like this in the past it all started after the surgery. I don't know how these doctors can think that I am making this up. You can't just not shit! It is going to come out one way or another. I am stuck and nothing is working now. Has anyone experienced this problem? Please I am desperate I am going to go through some therapy for my rectum and if it doesn't work my only option then is a cholostomy bag. I am 21 and a mother and wife. I don't want to put myself or my family through that. Any advise would be well appreciated.
