I hope you are well

Its been a while since I've posted, (its Gabriella) been doing as much as I can before the big day, just in case I dont make it. (I know, its crazy to think like that but you really never know) I hope whoever had surgery is recovering nicely, and good luck to those with dates coming up. I want to thank all of you for being here and sharing your journey, I've learned a lot. Today is the dreaded bowel prep and Im already sore and its only been an hour. Ugh. I finally found out what the stomach pains Ive been having (for many years) are too...gall stones. If time permits, the surgeon will remove it. I hope he does, but something tells me he wont. I guess I'll know tomorrow. Thanks again everyone, you guys are great.

hey there ya are!! well we will be thinking about you, do you have your angel? and they are aware they have to update us?? You will be find and the surgeon will take the gall bladder they wont leave it in there with the stones and take the risk. Debby

No, I dont have an angel. I'll see if my b/f can bring his laptop and log on somehow. Ive heard my group tries to stay away from removing the gall bladder during surgery. My girlfriend who went with them had her gall bladder removed seperately, but I dont know if she had gall stones in the beginning. But he did say there were a lot in there so who knows. As long as I make it out of there in one (re-arrainged) piece I'll be ok.

Sorry, if I don't know you but I don't. LOL When you change your name, you totally mess me up. Good Luck Tomorrow! What hospital are you going to? I'm in Oak Park so I could be your angel. Let me know! You will be FINE and they BETTER take your gb out. Melissa

hiya! i'm a week away and already dreading the bowel prep. hope you make it through without too much more discomfort. discomfort being a nice way to say it, anyway. good luck with your surgery tomorrow and God bless! tracy
