12. To be honest

May 2023

(and hope I'm not offensive) because of the "gas" they use to extend your body, once my bowels started working properly - in two or three days - I was fine - back to normal, except for eliminating fat (which I still limit).

One of my sisters had "elective" surgery to have her gall bladder removed and was back to work in two days.

On edit: I should mention that my doctor told me that gall bladder "problems" run in families, and that is why my sister went to her gastroenterologist to get tested and elected to have it removed before it caused severe problems.
