My gallbladder has got to go!

The CT revealed I have "multiple" gallstones and they have scheduled me to have my gallbladder removed Aug. 7th at Presby Dallas outpatient.  I'm glad it's a very quick procedure and recovery is only 3 days. 

My surgeon doesn't like to take it out at the same time as doing the R-N-Y as he says gallbladder is a "dirty" surgery and could be risky?  I dunno but I got to keep it for 18 months and I was hoping to keep it the rest of my life, I'm convinced it's good for something (or at least used to be). 

Cheryl,

Hope you get to feeling better soon. I'll pray for a quick recovery for you.

Take care,
Loni

Sorry it has to come out. I had mine out in 2001. Its a fairly quick recovery. Hope yours goes well!

at least you have answers - this going to conflict with anything else? hope not

hugs girlie

Oh and Danni no this will in no way interefere with that sex change operation I had planned in Oct.  LOL

Thanks for your prayers and well wishes.  I am really ready to get it out and move on to feeling better.  Have a great day ya'll...

Best of luck to you on the surgery girl!!   Love and miss you!!

Blessings,

Nina

Hi Cheryl,

My gallbladder surgery was a walk in the park.  In at 7am out before noon on Thursday.  Went to the races Saturday and back to work on Monday.

The only issue I had was the upper stab wound, as I lovingly refer to all laproscopic entry points, was right where my bra went.  I actually went to the office sans brassiere the first few days back!

You'll do great and be back in tip top shape, not to mention feel SOOOOO much better.

I just bought some of those really large self-stick bandages to cover mine.  I also ended up needing them for the farthest side cut because I found I rubbed against it whenever I used my arm, as I'm right-handed.

Cheryl,

Make sure you give yourself enough healing time. I had mine out over 10 years ago and I was sore for about a week. Fee better soon!

Your loved!
