Possum~ i have heard that removal of the gall bladder is often unnecessary, and can have serious consequences to your digestive system. i used an herbal tea, called Licorice Root Tea (which doesn't taste like licorice ), to dissolve and remove left over drugs from my system. it is specifically recommended for gall stones and kidney stones. you have to watch your potassium levels while on it, and it's good to supplement magnesium and calcium, too, as it can dissolve those also.

anyway, i hope you can find a way to keep you gall bladder, the more our systems are intact, the longer they last !
