For the first time in a few YEARS I weigh less than 220lbs. Last week I was in the ER with more gallbladder issues. Wait, I have no gallbladder. Turns out that doesn't matter. A gallstone was stuck at my Sphincter of Oddi which pissed of my pancreas and pissed off my liver. They're still angry. Chill out liver!
There is nothing better than a boatload of pain to get you to change your ways. Last week I cut out alcohol and grease - completely. This has been extremely hard for me. I've grown to love alcohol and grease. After all, what's the best thing for washing down a beer?
I don't expect my diet to prevent another gallstone from causing issues. I fully expect it to happen at which point they're going to put me under, shove some tools down my mouth, and widen up the Oddi which will relieve the traffic at the Oddi/intestine interchange.
How cool is the name Sphincter of Oddi?
