Also can I ask, has anyone ever had pain from their bra? Reason I ask is that the pain I have had I was putting down to Shingles (I've had it before and it's in the same area), but once I learned that I had gallstones and where the gall bladder is situated I figured the pain I was getting from my bra was not Shingles, but the gall bladder. Just curious to know if anyone else has experienced anything like this.
A lot of the pain I was having before surgery was right on the bra line, especially around the back. After the surgery I was somewhat swollen so that wearing a bra was uncomfortable.
T&B, not everyone has the digestive problems. I did have several "gotta go" spells right after surgery but things have been pretty normal now for the past week to 10 days. This board is so big that you're going to find people who have had problems no matter what the operation. I had a terrible time when I had my thyroid removed 6 years ago but I've never met anyone else who went through the things I did.

Last night I ate chicken enchiladas made with chilies and salsa and cheese. No problems! Like another poster said, you can live with digestive problems (if that even happens) but not a gangrenous gallbladder.
