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.

My family does not have a history of gall bladder or any kind of serious intestinal problems. But I do have a history of over reacting and over compensating. Maybe I mentioned this before... two of the risk factors for gall stones are: Fast weightloss and colesteral lowering drugs. I was doing both. The problems with my gall bladder started within a month or two more cholesteral lowering drugs and rapid weight loss.
I still want to drop another 10 pounds but I’ve stopped all the cholesteral lowering drugs. As well, I’m not too sure that its wise to have your ldl below 50 as mine was BEFORE I tripled my cholesteral lowering drugs.
So Yes, as you conclude, I’m seeing this as just one more balancing act to do. With the object being to hold on to as much good health as I can for as long as I can.
(On the frontiers of science—they’re making some pretty science fictionany promises as to what will be avialable to extend life—5-10 years from now.) When I’m healthy I believe them.
The surgeon said they did not remove the two gall stones they found. So I’ll do what I can to stack stuff. Low balling all of them.
Thanks for the advice.
I believe you only want to take the bile replacements with an occasion you have fat, but I could be off on that for your circumstance.
It’s meant to help break down fats, then the bile gets recaptured and reused, not exiting with our poo.
