Whoa...didn't mean to spur up so many conversations, but on one topic: the alka seltzer thing I tried in NYC, but I was so hungover that nothing could've helped...but I hear it works. As far as the galbladder situation? No clue, but just tell them to knock you out before-hand! as far as grease goes...I always seem to eat some,but then my stomach is usually done after that! I guess the ginger-ale seems to do the trick for most.
