My Journey: from gallbladder attack to recovery without surgery

After a long-term relationship ended, I was devastated beyond belief. I found myself depressed, lonely and very insecure. By chance, I met a long-lost friend and from then on I was living the good life. I was partying and over-indulging in ways that would eventually take their toll on my health. This resulted in an 11mm gallstone which caused me excruciating pain. To achieve the results I wanted, I had to make difficult choices. The doctor advised me to have surgery to remove my gallbladder. With all odds against me I changed my lifestyle and succeeded in keeping my gallbladder. It was a difficult period of my life, but my decision to take the longer road rather than the quick fix was something I've never regretted.
