[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1403771, member: 18945"] Beginning to re-think this.. This is to be a 'pre-emptive' surgery. I've had no symptoms at all--no pain, and would never have thought I had gallbladder problems. On the other hand (TMI follows) I have, for the last 30 years or so, been one of those people that only has to poop once ever 3 (sometimes 4) days. "Slow progress" thru the digestive tract is how it's been described. Not constipated..just no requirement to go every day. Probably wouldn't hurt if things were speeded up some. (I've always felt folks that had to poop every dang morning were eating way more than their body needed--like an engine that was blowing black smoke out the tail pipe--more fuel than the engine can burn) My diet is already pretty restricted because of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Lots of vegs and roughage, tho the doc said I can eat all the beef, lean pork and fish I want as long as I balance it with vegs and fruit so cholesterol is kept in check. Still, unless the primary doc can convince me tomorrow, (or the surgeon in consult on Monday) that there is a really compelling reason to do this, I'm going to pass on it. [/QUOTE]
