It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Good luck to you lady!  After WLS, this will be a breeze!  LOL  Fortunately I had mine out many years ago so that's one less thing I have to worry about!  Keep us posted on how you do!

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! My gall bladder is no more, and surgery went fine. Lasted about an hour, some scar tissue, but still lap procedure. I was home by 7 p.m. due to rush hour traffic and being 1 1/2 hours from surgery center. Slept in a recliner all night.

I stepped on the scale this morning, and was up 6 lbs! Then of course I had to remind myself that I was pumped full of saline and carbon dioxide, etc., and assured by the nurse that this is all water weight. BUT STILL.....it plays a game with your mind!

Anyway, 4 small incisions, one was done at the site of one from my RNY.

Oh, Cheryl....DOC LANDERS says to say "Hi" back to ya. And I didn't have Eric, I had Bob (Nurse Anesthetist).

I'm anxious to get all healed up, I have a road trip planned to Portland and Clackamas for Labor Day weekend!

Thanks you all---
Hugs,
Kathy

Hey Kathy,

Huggs to you.  Hope you have a speedy recovery.  Take good care of yourself.  Hey you lost a small organ.  That has to be a weight loss?
