Senator Bong Revilla Now On the Road to Recovery After Gall Bladder Removal
Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. is currently recuperating in the hospital after undergoing a successful operation to remove his gallbladder.
In a recent Facebook video post, the senator shared his experience before the operation, stating that he had eaten Chicharon Bulaklak, a popular Filipino delicacy that may have contributed to his abdominal pain.
According to the senator’s post, he had indulged in the deep-fried pork intestines dish, which is typically served as a beer match or pulutan, a few days before he was admitted to the hospital. He recounted that he had enjoyed the food, but later experienced discomfort and severe pain in his abdomen, which eventually led him to seek medical attention.
Upon undergoing medical examinations, Senator Revilla was diagnosed with gallstones, which had caused inflammation in his gallbladder. The doctors recommended the removal of his gallbladder through surgery to prevent further complications.
Senator Revilla underwent an emergency lap-chole procedure, a minimally invasive procedure that involves removing the gallbladder through a small incision in the abdomen. The surgery was successful, and the senator is now recovering in the hospital.
The senator’s experience serves as a reminder to the public about the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and being mindful of the food we consume. While Chicharon Bulaklak and other fatty foods may be delicious, they can also be harmful to our health, particularly when consumed in large amounts.
“Update: Successful emergency lap-chole procedure No hitches. On the road to full recovery,” Sen Bong wrote.
