Has anyone had experience with gallstones? Apparently those of us without a colon have a higher chance of having them. I'm one of the lucky ones who's having symptoms, pain after eating, lots of tooting from my stoma. I've cut down on my fat and that helps. I've also been told by my new gastroenterologist that my gallbladder needs to come out before it creates a bigger problem. Laparoscopic surgery is a simpler, quicker procedure with faster recovery, but the scar tissue from my four previous surgeries may require an open surgery. Ugh, total colectomy, the gift that keeps on giving. Oh well, any info is appreciated. TIA, folks...
