Lark Ryan

Just to let those of you know who know Lark, her surgery went well yesterday. If all goes well today with her leak test and liquid intake she should be home this afternoon. Denise

Thats great to hear! So her insides weren't transversed like mine? hahaha! Thats good to hear! Tell her I said hello and take it easy! Angie

I had to have an upper GI and a gallbladder ultrasound as a pre-op measure. Doesn't this give the surgeon a good idea where things are going to be? I hope so, but it seems odd that this was a surprise to your surgeon (so far as I can tell from your profile.) I'm pre-op, so I'm very curious.

Vicky, One would think he would have known, but I was never given a clear answer. To me that means that he didn't look at the gall bladder ultra sound or xrays. But even so he did find it and hopefully fixed it. I had a cat jump on my stomach on Aug 5th and been having realllly sharp pains in my stomach. Went to see Dr Singh and he said it was muscle strain and that I could still continue to go back to work on the 18th if I was up to it. It comes and goes but then again there are days when I can't do squat the rest of the day cause i'm so out of it. But thankfully with my short term disablility at work, I have a 14 day window when i go back to work and have to come back in for anything, I am still covered under the same claim. All I have to say is make sure they get those results and ultra sound at the office before the procedure. Hope this helps! Angie
