Hi Nettie, I had to have my gall bladder removed a couple of months ago. It's a piece of cake. I was home the same day, groggy for a couple of days took tylenol for about a week. but i'm a wimp. You'll do well... Tracey

Darn it, I hate when that happens. Lap GB is EASY. I had mine on Friday and was back to a desk job on Monday without any pain. Hope your's goes well. ~Diana~

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and of course, the prayers are always appreciated. Yes, I've had rny on Oct 13. Gretta, in answer to your questions: I need to have my gall bladder removed because I have several gallstones and I've been having pain in my upper right abdomen. Also my liver enzymes are pretty high. I've known about the gallstones for almost a year. The surgeon knew as well, but decided not to take it out at the same time I had gastric bypass. Not an uncommon practice. In total (pre & post-op) I've lost 73 lbs. I wish I could've had it all done at once. I hate the thought of having another surgery especially so soon after the last one. But that's the way things go, I guess. Thanks, again, everyone. Hopefully I'll feel up to coming to the Circle of Friends group at the end of the month. Take care, Nettie
