Like a homerun baseball, it's OUTTA here!

Susan, wishing you well for both your surgeries.  I'm beginning to wonder what's wrong with me - my gall bladder went kapooie in just one afternoon, no warning whatsoever!  My suffering was spending nine days in the hospital because of it. Take care, Debbie

NINE DAYS????  They're only keeping me for 23 hours.  One measly hour more and I wouldn't have to pay the $100 outpatient co-pay.  Of course, if he gets in there and finds something in the small bowel, it my convert to open, then I'd be there longer, but we're just going for the one procedure in my book. Thanks for the well wishes, as always. Hugs

Dear Susan, It's about time they figured things out. Now you can begin to feel better and enjoy life again. For such a small organ, the gallbladder can make you feel crummy. Adhesions hurt too. Kisses Annette

It's crazy.  I'm lying in bed this morning thinking about this surgery and how different it's going to be from my RNY.  Sure, it will be done lap, but now that I'm so thin I worry they'll hit something they're not supposed to when they insert the instruments. Then I came to my senses and remembered they'll blow me up like a balloon first, so no more worries ( ha!). The ultrasound technician had a field day pointing out my aorta and other "stuff". She said people normally don't get such a clear picture of it because of excess weight. She even said my aorta was "pretty"......how nice, how very, very nice Kisses right back at ya

glad to hear that there is an end coming to this part of your struggle!!!! hugs!

Dear Margo, It was a year ago today that I ruptured my Achilles. Let's hope this is the last of my medical issues. I'm so done with it! Take care

Wow sweetie you are going to have your hands full for a couple of weeks, but you are going to look and feel like a teenager this summer. Blessings

JB, from your lips to God's ears!   My niece is getting married on the 4th of July, let's just hope I can wow the family and friends who haven't seen me since we moved three years ago. Hopefully I'll be looking like a 30 year old and feeling like a teenager. Thanks bunches

Glad you found out what the problem is. I had my gall bladder sucked out lapriscopically (sp) in 12/2000. It was outpatient surgery ... only took about 3 hours total time at hospital.
