A member asked:
What can be done to prolong gallbladder surgery? like any sort of diet or something like antacids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Low fat diet can sometimes prevent the onset of symptoms of gallbladder disease, however once you've had symptoms you are very likely to have future attacks. Those future attacks could occur at anytime after any meal and at a more inconvinent time of your life. Surgery also prevents infection and pancreatitis.
