Thought I couldput off gallbladder surgery, but

After last nights attack, thinking I need to get this done soon! Doctors appt on Thursday, hoping to get doctor here, but now having second thoughts and thinking I should go tomy band doctor. Having to throw up and not being able to because of the band is kicking my butt!

It probably would be easier and faster to schedule the local doctor unless your band surgeon determines it an emergency.

Feel better soon.

I need to get my band unfilled, thinking that would be a little help too.

Also my regular doctor is trying to find a local band doctor, seems no one warns to touch another doctors band! Ugh!

They galbladder hurts get that done as soon as you can.

Tracy, it's not an elective surgery at this point. What my band doctor told me was it needed to come out ASAP, since he didn't want me ending up in the ER in the middle of the night and having whatever general surgeon who was on call to do my surgery. He said that the GB can become infected and it becomes a life or death matter. Since the GB is near your stomach, band, tubing, someone who is familiar with AGBs needs to do the surgery. Get it scheduled ASAP. I got my results on Thursday and was in the OR on Monday morning. They wanted to do it on Friday, but for some reason we couldn't.
Don't wait.

Ok , not waiting calling. Thanks Steph!

 Keep us posted!

Have appt. on Thursday with my surgeon to get unfilled ans schedule surgery. Thanks everyone, I will keep you updated.

BTW, I was originally diagnoses with gallstones in March 2006 and waited until I had my LapBand in August 2008 to have it removed.  WORST MISTAKE EVER.
