gallstones even after gallbladder removal.
So i have been told that i have gallstones even after i have had my gallbladder removed over 9 years ago. What can we do as WLS patients to have them removed without a way to get them out now, now that we have been surgically altered. Has anyone heard of doing a flush or a cleansing to break them up safely with out harming us? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!1
... I'm interested to read any replies to this one.

My father-in-law just had laproscopic surgery for gall bladder removal. They sent him home the same day and two evenings later, he was in such pain he had a film of sweat break out on his forehead. He went to the emergency room and they gave him pain medicine. They checked his blood count and said that his white blood cell count indicated a possible infection. He is 81 years old and in good health. His only medication has been one dose per day of High Blood Pressure medicine. They checked him in the hospital and finally checked his stomach for exact contents on Wednesday. Prior to Wednesday, they said he had a lot of air in his abdomen (gas) and that was causing the pain. They found that his stomach was full of bile and a gall stone. I talked to a friend who has medical professionals in her family and has recently had a 77 year old relative go through the same type surgery with no problems and went home the same day, never to return with a concern. Today, my father-in-law's kidneys quit functioning.
About a year ago, I read that you can eat five large water mellons while sitting in a bath tub and urinate in the bath tub and that stones and sand of all shades of colors and sizes will expell.
I don't care if that sounds crazy to some people, I'd be willing to try it. If anything, you'd get a super-cleanse job done. I'd probabaly fast the day before so that the majority of fluids leaving the body are high water content. I'd try it.
While laproscopic surgeries are amazing and much less invasive, I believe their are problems. Nothing replaces the actual eye viewing what is being done. There is more clarity and less room for mistake. The possibility of infection may be greater, but I would like to see statistics on both sides.

Yep, very crazy soaking in your own urine.
I would never suggest ANYONE do this EVER.
