    a mamin,

    Please do not make a blanket statement, it might not have helped you, however I know of other people that were helped by going onto a strict diet.

    Either case, I will repeat myself, you should schedule a consultation with someone that specializes in gallbladder surgeries.

    You cannot undo the surgery once it is done, you should make an informed decision.

    I differ with you, I know this first hand, as I was with the PT, the ER doc and the general Doc stated that this must be removed, we did some research and found a reputable surgeon who did a more extensive investigation and advised to hold on the surgery.

    In fact, I spoke with people who also had a similar experience.

    I was not trying to put anyone down, just stating what happened, and hopefully someone will use this as a lesson and not jump for surgery when told so by o=a general doctor.

    Removing and organ is not a joke, I am surprised at how lightly people take this. surgery should be a last resort. In other words consult with Doctors and surgeons that specialize in this.

    Please explain why someone should opt for surgery when the pain and symptoms can be controlled with a regulated diet.

    Correct, you don’t shop around for opinions, however one should get a few opinions from gallbladder specialists before getting it removed.

    The fact that someone had an attack, does not mean it should be removed, you can avoid getting more attacks by not eating fatty foods and regulating your diet. Doctors suggest surgery because it is the easy way out, however the gallbladder is not an ‘extra’ organ and should not be removed unless absolutely necessary.

    Again, I am not suggesting that you not listen to a doctors advice, only that you should schedule an appointment with someone that specializes in gallbladder surgeries.

    Having stones on its own, is not yet a sufficient reason for removal, most doctors just look at the sonogram and say oh, you have stones so go for surgery.

    Also, ulcers can be mistaken for gall stones, the major difference usually is, that with an ulcer the attack comes way after eating, and with gallstones the attack comes right after eating fatty foods.

    You should work this out with your wife, either do the bills together, and put away the extra money for savings.

    If she still wants to spend the money, then it is not a spending issue, its more of a disagreement (shalom bayis) issue.

    Credit cards does not really give the impression that you are spending money, start using cash.

    Someone I know was having Gall stone attackes, two doctors recomended that he remove the gallbladder right away,

    At the meeting with the surgeon, the surgeon did a thourough invesitagtion and stated that in his opinion any surgery should be a last resort, he recomended that the patient start a diciplined diet and see if the stones give him any problems.

    He stated that a large percentage of people have stones yet do not have any problems with the gallblader.

    I know that it is considered a minor surgery. However as I once heard, the difference between small and big surgery, small is when its by someone else, big when its by you.

    youtube gallbladder removal surgery and watch the surgery, I would not want to have it if it is not absolutly necessary.

    Therefore, I think that you should get a few opinions and not jump for surgery.

    Another thing Rav Avigdor Miller ZT’L said, is that men should only seek help from men and ladies from ladies.

    Avraham Migayer es ha’anushim, V’sara migayeres es hanoshim.

    He stated that he is aware of a case, in which a young man tried to help a young women and he got hooked onto her..

    I think that it’s not that bad that he is officially disassociating himself from the frum oilem.

    At lease he is showing his true colors.

    I think that it is better that he is showing his true colors. Since up until now his fans were arguing that he means it for Hashems sake and he understands hashem better than our Rabbanim.

    However he is now showing the surface of his true colors, as someone that knew him early on, I know that he is idolizes Female singers and he tries to imitate songs that are full of shmutz.

    He has no problem performing in a mixed dancing environment.

    I hope that he will now officially claim that he is on the ‘other side’.

    I wish that he would stop saying that he is doing all of this for the sake of Hashem.

    Its sad to see how he claims that all the stuff he is doing is only for the sake of Achdus and hashem, anyone that followed before he got popular knows that that he is in a downward spiral.

    What else will he do “to make people happy”?

    Some therapists have the ability to see if the person has been abused .

    No, I don’t like his songs, since they are very similar to modern day non Jewish music.

    ZDAD,

    are you talking from experience?

    With my experience, a therapist plays with ones emotions, talks about the clients personal experience, a lot of room to establish a personal connection.

    is it right or professional? probably not, however there is the risk of establishing a personal relationship.

    A regular health care professional does not have this risk.

    Health,

    I do not know why you are assuming that this was the intent of the OP. In fact I did and still do view it as an innocent question.

    I do not think that you can compare therapy to a doctors visit. A Doctors exam is objective, its not in any way similar to a therapy session.

    With therapy, the therapist will discuss the clients emotions and feelings, there is a lot of room for personal relationship.
