gallbladder surgery.....

I am having surgery Tuesday the 28th, he says I will be out of work for 4 weeks due to my lifting. Please keep me in your prayers. Tammy Gunter

Do you lift at work I was out of work 4 days its not a bad surgery at all. I had it done the 24th of January the nexted day feels like a mac truck run over ypu but them your alright

Yes, I do alot of lifting at work, I work on a special ed. school bus & i have to load & unload the kids in wheelchairs, and I have to pick up the back of their wheelchairs & slide them into their lockdown position on the bus. It's a strain, but 4 weeks is okay with me, I only do it for the extra spending $$$ & only make minimum wage, so what little i miss will be okay. Thanks, Tammy G

I have a desk job, but I was on medical leave for two weeks. I really could have used an extra week to get back to feeling my best. Just a word of caution: the bathroom will be your most used room when you get home. To paraphrase a friend of mine after her gall bladder surgery, "If poop were gold, I'd be a millionaire!"

Out of work for 4 weeks?? I had surgery on a monday and was back to work on Wednesday and on a cruise on Saturday. The surgery is a breeze. Best of luck!

I have an appt with my surgeon on Monday to find out what day my gallbladder will be coming out. Surgeons office said I'd only be out of work a week max as long as it could be done laprascopically. And thats what I am aiming for... Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for a safe surgery, and speedy recovery... Hugs, Susan

Thanks Susan
