I was wondering if anyone with CF out there has had their gallbladder removed? In CF I know it is common to have extremely small, barely used gallbladders, thick bile, and therefore, gall stones. My gastro doc is running more tests but is considering removing my gallbladder. He tells me I shouldn't hardly notice it is gone since it is contracted, so small, and I don't appear to be using it in the path of bile (for example, my body has bi-passed the clogged organ already). Has anyone had this done? Have you experienced side effects?

I had to have my gallbladder removed four yrs ago.it got to where I couldnt burp,pass gas,i couldnt eat much becuz i would feel full,i was nauseated alll the time but i never had pain there.I went to a clinic visit for a check up and was admitted.they did an ultrasound and they said it looked like it had slushy stuff in it and stones.they took it out and i had over 100 small stones.After the surgery I was able to eat like I used to.It helped me.
