No, I don't need any research. Ive held a plenty of gall bladders in my hand over the years. Its a pretty simple procedure. It becomes a whole nother story when your sitting on the other side of the bed though.
They really do scare the shit out of ya. Might mess up the bile duct, that could mean multiple surgeries which we don't do here and may require you to go out of state. Might puncture the colon, if stones are stuck in the duct might have to stick a tube down your throat to go in and suck them out, or something like that.
Ive only known 2 people who got that procedure done. One, my sister who had a stone the size of a soft ball, not endoscopic due to the size and then a friend who actually had her intestines punctured and got septic. And even with that, I always considered the surgery a simple surgery due to just working with pathologist and being around surgeons talking about it. oh its just a gall bladder.
All of a sudden, its not just a gall bladder. its my daughters gall bladder and im just being a paranoid mom. Hoped to hear a good story about a easy gall bladder surgery.
