An old friend of mine had his removed after about 30 years of eating like shit. The guy basically lived on fast food and soda, and it eventually caught up to him.
Gallbladder removal should not be a common surgery that a lot of people would need to have done. I would like to see if it seems more common even among our "small" group than it ought to be. I would also like to see if it seems to be exclusively or almost exclusively females that we know who are needing theirs removed.
- How many people do you know who have had to have their gallbladders removed?
- How many of them are male?
- How many of them are female?
| For Me | |
|---|---|
| Males | 0 |
| Females | 4 |
Males: I asked pretty much every male I know of a vast range of ages from teens to eighties and not one of them has had to have theirs removed.
Females: I have not asked all females I know, but 4 have had to have theirs removed due to degrading to single-digit functionality.
If it seems that we all only know females who have had to have theirs removed:
- Could it be related to "flu shots" that females tend to get every year due to their "doctor" (authority figure) telling them to?
- Could it be related to "birth control" that females often take from a very young age just to ease their period symptoms (excessive cramping, etc.) due to their "doctor" (authority figure) telling them to?
If it is a mixture of both male and female needing theirs removed, but still seems to be excessively common, what could be part of the cause? If related to diet and the non-food people have been eating for the past 3+ decades, what aspect of or additive in food could be most likely to cause destruction of the gallbladder?
