The gallbladder's job is to store bile so without a gallbladder what does the liver do with it's excess bile? Are there any long term consequences to living with a gallbladder?

i was inspired by another question to ask this...i hope someone can help!

i am female and i'm not overweight. i bathe, so no jokes about that. i have tried all kinds of deodorant, using it several times a day, and i still sweat and don't smell very good. it's not like a musty smell that follows me everywhere or anything, but i can smell it when i lift my arms (say, if i'm putting on a coat or something) and i can't ever wear tank tops. my shirts stink and have sweat stains. any suggestions?

I noticed that after I smoke about 3-4 cigs in the day after that I don't really have any noticeable cravings for cigarettes afterwards even though I could easily ignore my cravings altogether and quit but I just don't feel like it. I'm wondering what do smokers who smoke like over a pack a day get from their smokes because I feel that after I've had a few for the day any further will not satisfy me at all?

ok, i made an ortho appt to talk about my jaw. i have had braces and worn retainers for about 2 years. my jaw has been acting up for about 1 year and ive talked to my ortho about it before, and i think its cause i clench. it used to pop and stick at night but not anymore. now its just constant pain. is there any other things that could cause my jaw to just be in constant pain?
also, my bite is really screwed up too. its so uncomfortable to simply bite down. my front teeth touch and only one side of my back teeth can accually bite down all the way. how do they correct that? will i have to get braces again? or sets of retainers? any ideas?

I would like to know how I can stop making myself puke, cutting myself, and overdosing on painkillers...

I think I have depression and I don't know how to tell my family... I have tried to tell my mom but she ignores what I am trying to let her know about me. Or she thinks I am being dramatic and tells me to leave her alone.
I feel like there is no point to anything at times. Like there is just no reason to do anything. Do I have depression? Should I talk to my doctor about this?
My friend gives me great support but it's not enough to make me want to stop everything I am doing.
I have reasons for why I do everything...
I overdose because I get upset with myself. I feel like I am not good enough for anyone. And I have very low self esteem.
I make myself puke so I can wear the clothes I want to and not feel fat in them. And so I won't feel like I am being stared at because I am fat.
I cut myself because I think if my mom found out about me cutting she might care about me...

My period returned 2 months ago. I stopped breastfeeding but still pumping milk. My daughter is 7 months old. My periods were light and painless before I got pregnant. Now they are uncomfortable (cramps) and I have heavier flow. Last month, I just thought it was the body getting back it it's normal self, but this month is the same discomfort. Any suggestions to cope? I'm guessing this will be normal for me each month. This is new to me.

Especially disorders like narcissism and schizoid personality. Do you feel bad for them or are they just jerks?

I have a question, I am the kind of person who really needs something in the morning, and most of the time for the whole day, that can wake me up or energize myself to go through the day. I have tried to drink energy drinks such as red bull and coffees, they seem to work for me, most of the time. My question is, which one do you guys think is better and also healthier?

Just for the record, I am a 20 year old college student.

The bottom right tooth is killing me though. The lower right side of my face is swollen and i can't eat anything hard still because of the pain nor can i open my mouth very well. The pain starts at the top of my jaw and goes down to the chin area. The tooth was impacted and resting against the nerves. Also, because of my very long roots being wrap around my nerves on the left side he did not pulled that tooth. Will the pain go away or do i have permanent nerve damage? I have two small children so i can not take the pain medicine prescribe to me.

I have been feeling really awful for several weeks and just found out that I am extremely low on both Iron and Vitamin D. I am starting supplements. I have niferex which I hear is a good iron supplement and I have vitamin D 400 IU pills. 2 Part question: How long will it take me on the iron to start feeling better? And is 400 IU of vitamin D once daily enough for someone who is extremely low and needs to get back up to proper levels?

at current i am almost 400lbs..i have trouble breathing and can hardly tie my own shoes..problem is..my gf says she thinks i look good fat and wont let me diet.. i used to jog alot when we first met and i was only around 200 she is very jealous and doesnt like me excercising. i have tried to convince her that i will be faithful. i only wear jogging outfits now as thats all thats comfortable. my gf buys nothing but cakes and ice cream and constantly brings me sweets....we are suppossed to get married in nov but im scared i wont find a tux big enough. i just hope its ok to be this big..i know i could be healthier but i see lots of fat people that get pretty old. but just in case my gf has insisted on a large life insurance policy for me. she always thinks about me in those ways..thats why i love her.
