Hi Steve, A gall bladder is an organ that produces bile to help with food digestion. I had mine removed over 10 years ago because of stones. I had a lot of pain with it and have had no side effects from not having one. I felt 100% better after it was out. Barbara

I'm 4 months out today. Its been a real trip so far My scales read 203# this morning. At the houspital the day of my surgery I weighed 258.5#. Thats 55# gone forever!!! I was 267# at my first surgeons visit. My highest weight was 315# back in 1997. I took my measurments the night before surgery and have lost 30 inches so far. I measure my chest, waist, hips, upper arms and thighs. 8 1/2 inches off my waist and 8 1/4 right off the old hipperrues!! YEAH!! I joined curves a week ago and have already seen an emprovment in my strength. Happy 4th aniversairy all October Babies, Barbara
