If you get your gallbladder removed and your surgeon says it could cause diarrhea for a while but your discharge papers say take stool softener because of the pain medication? Listen to the surgeon.

It hasn’t been a fun couple of days.

Thank you for reading my very short rant. Back to the bathroom!

    Edit: Ask your doctor about Marinol, it’ll possibly make you munch your heart out. :) (it’s legal THC, and your condition seems chronic enough to warrant the use)

    Re the edit- I just use the real thing. It’s illegal here in Indiana, but it’s legal in neighboring Illinois and I’m very close to the state line. It helps with my trigeminal neuralgia (the nerve disorder) but it hasn’t done anything about my appetite. The only thing it does in regards to this problem is help settle my stomach after the morning heaving.

    If you are a heavy cannabis user, they have to use stronger anesthesia on you, but I seem to be able to tolerate anesthesia without any long-term effects, so that wasn’t a concern.
