    This group is about having a severed bile duct or biliary duct, from botched gallbladder surgery. We can discuss the aftermath, because it is important to know what to expect, and all possible results. Of course, there will be reconstructive surgery, but there is so much more. Life will never be the same for the person who has this happen, nor for family members. It is important to have a meeting place with others experiencing this, so we can share with each other and have information shared together. It could save the lives and it can also help the spouses, etc. Feel free to ask questions or to introduce yourself and we will attempt to help each other.
