I didn't have an LAR, but the longer I waited to have my gallbladder removed, the worse the diarrhea became. Had both gallbladder and appendix removed in April. The first couple of days I didn't stray far from the toilet, but since then I gave not had ONE problem at all. Both gallbladder and appendix were infected, but I had no pain, so just didn't do anything. Wish I had done it much sooner!
