Nicki, I don't understand, do you have a colostomy now? BTW, how much is involved with getting the surgery to have a colostomy? How long does the recovery take? Do you have to stay in the hospital? Why do you think this is your gall bladder?

I had a major hemorrhoidectomy last December and considered a colostomy then. The amount of feces coming out at night would probably blow a colostomy bag off....seriously. However, I am having pain when sitting on shower chair and I think it's my rear (hemorrhoids), we just don't see any prolapsed yet. I will again be considering a colostomy if more problems present.

I was having issues like that, also about 1 or 2 times a week I was leaking just enough to leave a mark and smell. I was embarrassed every time I had to get lifted out of my chair. I finely got a colostomy. I only wish I would have gotten it 30 years ago. I put it off thinking it would be embarrassing, but it was soooo much nicer. Fast, easy, clean, 2 minutes a day, 5 minutes once a week or so. And that's over estimating. I recommend looking into it and asking your Doc.
