You got your gallbladder out? That sounds so much like something that happens when someone is five or six years old:) Glad you're alright, though!

I haven't gotten it out yet. It will cost $8,000, so I have some figuring out to do because I don't have insurance.
The nurse told me that when he was in school he was taught that people who get their gallbladders out typically follow the 4 Fs..
Female
Fat (obese)
Forty (middle aged)
and
Fertile (has had children)
But lately it's been young, healthy women who need them removed.

My suggestion to you, dear heart, is to marry well & quickly!

I know somebody who can get it out for way cheaper.....

Haha.. Maybe I could put an ad on Craig's List to see if there are any med students who want some practice.
