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!

Do not take the stool softener. Not if you value your underwear.

Listen to what your surgeon says, doubly so if they contradicted your discharge papers
