I talked to the surgeon yesterday. The surgeon said that because of some scarring they would likely not be able to the minimally invasive laproscopic gall bladder removal—which is the one they prefer. but rather they would do a hard lateral cut in the abdomin.

the surgeon seemed to indicate that if I modified my diet to reduce fats—I might be able to avoid surgery.

The first bile acid I bought was something called TUDCA.

I see that you have suggested a couple more

Is it appropriate to stack these bile acids one on top of the other?

One the day before my visit to the doctor, I started drinking a lot of water. That resulted in a cup bile fluid flowing out of me. That’s the first time that’s happened since the operation. The doctor said that that’s a good thing. Because it means the gall bladder is draining. But I wonder if this is a good thing if it goes on day after day?

How do you know the dark fluid was bile?

On the TUDCA, you will know you took too much by a day or two of the runs. Stacking is probably helpful, as it would get you other bile acids, but you could easily tilt it to “too much,” but that becomes inherently self-limited (i.e. - “I’m not going to do that much again, if I can keep from it.’).

We all really need to do what we can to preserve what health we can muster, or muster back. I’m glad you didn’t get the gall bladder removed, but work diligently to reverse your health issues to keep the surgery at bay, but don’t hurt yourself trying to do that.

One of the problems with reducing fats is that without fats, you won’t ever push out bile.

Bile gets released when your body senses fat that need to be broken down.
