Gallbladder Removal
Holiday Season is over and can’t forget that I spent my Christmas Eve in the hospital. Yes! you read it right. In the hospital! I watched over my brother together with my sister-in-law who suffered from cholelithiasis in Victoria Hospital in Marikina. He didn’t undergo cholelithotomy (gallstone removal) but cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal) don’t know why not the first surgery instead.
gallstones
Do you wonder how the stones build up?… The gallbladder is not a vital organ, we can live without it. Its function is to store bile, concentrate it, and release it during digestion. Bile is supposed to retain all of its chemicals in solution, but commonly one of them crystallizes and forms sand, gravel, and finally stones.
My brother also tried natural way to dissolve the stones before but didn’t work out maybe because his stones are already huge. Do you wonder how the operation like?
You gotta watch this… cholecystectomy
I had goosebumps while watching this video, can’t even imagine it happened to my brother and may happen to me too. So if you’re a person who’s fond of eating foods which contain lot of cholesterol and fats??? Better stop the wrong eating habit now!
