Home - Feeling Great!

I came home from the hospital late Thursday evening, and I can't say enough about my doctor and her surgical staff. She prayed with my husband and I before we went into surgery, and I truly believe that God was watching over us. My surgery went long, because my doctor checked around while she was in there, and found a sizable cyst on my gall bladder. She removed the gall bladder while performing my lap rny, so my surgery took longer than expected. Instead of adding more incisions to get to the gall bladder, she spent more time, and used the incisions from my rny, so I still only have 5 incisons. She gave me a picture of the growth. I can't believe something that big was on my gall bladder, and I didn't know it. I would have occassional stabbing pains in my side, but I just assumed they were nothing, and never mentioned them. The results of the biopsy came back yesterday, and the growth was benign, PRAISE GOD! She said that my gall bladder was also inflamed. So, I believe that this surgery was not only a life saving intervention because of my weight, but also for the gall bladder surgery. I knew there was a reason my surgery was put off by a month!

I had my gallbladder removed too...even though my surgery was extended another hour, it made it worth it. At least now we can go about focusing on healing the right way with nothing stopping us!
