Hi,
I'm so sorry for your grandmother. I can only tell you my experience.
I'm a 44 year old healthy female, and had my GB out in Sept. 2001. I
continued to have pain/attacks almost immediately after surgery. Two
weeks later I did my first liver cleanse. It took two cleanses before
I was completely out of all pain and discomfort. I've now just
completed my 6th cleanse, and I feel great! I'd suggest that she wait
until she is completely healed from surgery before she attempts a liver
cleanse. See if you can find a more holistic type doctor to evaluate
her and give you advice.
Adrienne
