Stomach, Digestive & Bowel Disorders

I had to go to the ER this morning cause i was up all night in pain. So they did and ultrasounds and X-rays. And found out i DO have gallstones. But i always hear bad things about getting it out. Like some people always feel sick and some have diahrea. And even though it was taken out they still cant eat fatty foods. They said its my choice weather i want it taken out or not. Either i watch what i eat and live with the pain. Unles it became infected then it has to be removed. I should be ok. But i just dont know whats best. ALso they said they would like to stick a camera down my throat to see if theres andything wrong with my stomach. A dr said she thinks i might have an ulcer. Ughh so many problems. anyone have advice?

While it is true that some people continue to have problems after gall bladder surgery, there are more people who have the surgery and are just fine afterward. It is generally recommended to go easy on fatty food until you find out what your body will tolerate, but many people go back to eating whatever they want.
