I had gallstones and weed didn't affect it at all (except make it slightly less painful.)
I just wanted to tell you that my doc said smoking does exacerbate symptoms, especially if you're getting acid reflux with your gall bladder issues as I have had. There is a sphincter type opening at the bottom of your esophagus and smoking causing relaxation of it, which allows acid from your tummy to flow up more freely causing pain in the gut and sternum area. When I quit smoking, my symptoms weren't so bad. I had my gall bladder removed yesterday because of an ejection fraction of 2%.
BUT ..... ever since i have quit , i have had IBS, constant diarrhea, and now have an enlarged liver and a polyp on my gallbladder. My tummy was fine while i was still smoking. Connection , coincidence ?
because im dying here, crazy mood swings
but i dont wanna die of compilcations
i just keep myself busy and try to think and find different things things to do
im not even suppose to be moving around too much
2 walk around the block a couple of times (not recommended if u have just had surgery), or sit down and play a video game or watch a
movie 2 take ur mind off of the cravings. I recommend not using the gum or any patches the dont work they just make the cravings worse
use chantix it helped me and it worked fast, hope i was of help :-)
IT WAS THE CHANTIX, PERSCRIPTION PILLS ARE POISON AND CAUSE ALL KINDS OF HEALTH PROBLEMS.
It was probably chantix, I also took chantix and have had scores of health problems because of it for over 4 years. Before I took chantix I was perfectly healthy.
The good news is that if psychological problems don't run in your family, and if you have never had a history of depression, the long term effects of chantix should be purely physical (not that it's great news). In my case, it made me suicidal and violent, and I still struggle with major depression and anxiety (no problems before).
If your doctors determine that any problems could be caused by Chantix, there are thousands and thousands of people like me suing them. You can easily find a class action.
Actually, I have heard that smoking affects EVERY organ of the body that is supplied with blood, since smoking gets into the bloodstream. (I'm a LONG time smoker, and have had my GB removed. Doc said to quit smoking.) If you are truly worried about smoking affect the gallbladder (or anything, for that matter), do what I am doing. Get an "e-cigarette". (Electronic cigarette...they are sold everywhere, even in convenience stores.) I haven't had a regular cig for over a month now. You still get your nicotine "fix", but without the thousands of other poisons smoking puts into your body. You get none of the carcinogens, your clothes/hair/breath/house doesn't stink. They produce a water vapor that looks like smoke, so you get that pleasure of holding a cigarette, blowing "smoke", and getting nicotine. (No, I do NOT work for any e-cig company. I'm just really all for smokers quitting, and I was a die-hard smoker!) You can buy nicotine drops to refill the e-cigs, and they are a lot cheaper than regular cigs. (I even smoke in bed now, without fear of burning down the house.)
hi i am from india i have had GB issue and stone, i smoke " I was working For night Shift for 6 year " so no proper food timeing hence i devoloped GB Stone.

Note :- Avoid - Tension,avoid Smoking and drinking. But i have not left smoking i have reduced 60% of my smoking :- All the best Anand
I think e-cigs cause similar acid/gallbladder problem exacerbation as you're still inhaling nicotine which is what is relaxing that esophageal sphincter. I find I have no symptoms if I don't vape, low grade "grumbling" if I vape low circa 0.8mg/ml nicotine e-liquid and exponentially higher symptoms (lots of agony) if I vape 1.8mg/ml or higher.
