No Thanksgiving cooking for me!

I just got back from seeing the surgeon, I'm now scheduled for gall bladder surgery on Nov.21st. Not at all looking forward to more surgery, but if said if my boss makes me go on disablity he'll put me out even longer for recovery. I'm on salary at work and used up my vacation time with my WLS in July. Looks like I get out of cooking this year! Jan

Jandell you are in my good thoughts and prayers!!! Keep us posted please ::hugs::

Aw, I bet that you hate not having to cook for Thanksgiving, NOT!!!! I am sorry that you will be having another surgery. You should be able to eat some turkey shouldn't you? I was eating normally after my lap gallbladder removal. Take it slow girlie and just get well. ~Diana~

Thank you guys! Actually I really will miss not cooking at Thanksgiving, I love to cook and bake and have already promised to make some of my SF Pumpkin pies the night before my surgery. I plan on taking a full two weeks off this time, I went back so soon after WLS that I was tired all the time. I had used up all my vacation time this year between traveling to see my best friend of 42 years before she died and my WLS, so I asked the owner of the company if he wanted me to go on disability this time, and he told me to take another two weeks vacation on him, and feel better. I was so surprised! I'd love to hear about everyone's Lap gall bladder experiences, so I know what to expect. Jan

Jan, my lap gb was so easy, if it weren't for the symptoms being gone, I wouldn't know it was done. 5 tiny tiny incisions, not even stitched. In and out of the hospital in 5 hours, but they did make me eat while in there, so be forewarned to ask for yogurt or cheese. I did feel like I had done a few too many situps afterward. I had my surgery on Friday and was back to work on Monday, all this 3 weeks after a c-section baby. See how easy? You are going to love having the time off, you can go christmas shopping and decorating and baking for your family (just don't eat too much stuff). Hey, you take care of yourself and keep up the awesome progress. Don't let this minor setback get to you.

Thanks Diana, sure sounds easy enough. My surgeon has told me 4 incisions, 2 in the same place as was use forthe WLS and the klargest one will be about an inch and a half under my ribs, then the belly button. More than likely he said I will have staples. I am looking forward to the time off, if I do nothing but relax it'll be nice, but getting the house decorated will also be good! Jan
