Surgery Scheduled...
My Bariatric surgeon called me about 10 minutes ago. He is scheduling me for Monday the 20th to have my gallbladder removed. He was quit upset with the fact that the on-call surgeon at the emergency room did not remove it at that time. Not that Dr. Ku doesn't want to do it, but it was wrong to send me home when they could have taken it out.
He said to try clear fluids all week and he is scheduling me for Monday and I will receive a call on when it will be.
I am so glad this is being taken care of. Let me tell you this is NOT FUN!

Erin,
Although surgery is surgery, this surgery is a breeze compared to what we have been through. I only drank clear liquids the day before and then nothing for 12 hours to drink b4 which left me dehydrated. You will be fine, i promise...and I can actually eat more since my gullbladder is gone.
Many blessings my friend.
