Gall bladder post surgery

Really sorry you're suffering from complications. I had my gallbladder out a few weeks ago, but was lucky not to have any complications.

There's a gallbladder surgery support thread running in Chat if you're interested (sorry, can't link).

Hopefully, once this issue is sorted, you'll start to feel better.
