My gallbladder was removed in feb. I was already nearly incapacitated with pain and nausea and somehow got worse afterwards. I have since been found to have metals poisoning, explaining all my symptoms, not just the one the slice-happy surgeon wanted to hear. Anyone stewing over the fact that they had an unnecessary surgery? What did you do? I’m filing a formal complaint, not about the gallbladder surgery itself, so much as the doctor’s refusal to entertain, or let me explore the idea that there were alternative options that were more urgent than the surger. It would be hard to complain about the surgery being unnecessary, as doctors seem to think all of their surgeon friends need as many gallbladder surgeries as will keep them in business. My gallbladder was not infected, and none of my symptoms were related to gallbladder, excpet nausea is a common thread.
