Well of course they want to operate. There are drugs to dissolve stones but risk of liver damage so no thanks. I've been doing a vinegar cleanse (no fasting but vinegar and water 2x daily, and my diet is already restricted to prevent an attack - down 5-7lbs since 9/1) and seems to be no effect. Now hurts all the time, not sharp but achy and persistent. Doctor said that there was thickening of the gallbladder wall indicating a long term problem. I've talked to a couple of Christina's clients who had theirs out and have no real ill effects. So I am going to have it out. Confidentially I am really on the fence on this decision, but my wife leans that way and I have to give that some weight. Plus I get to take a week off work. That equals two more paintings this year. Interestingly, I read that most animals do not have gallbladders.
