Gallbladder and other things

I now have surgery scheduled for the 26th of Jult to have my gallbladder out. He is also going to check for any problems while in there. I jokingly (somewhat) asked if while in there, he could lipo some of the fat left in my tummy!

Also saw my primary care doc on Thursday about my sleeping issues. He increased my amytriptyline and said that trying melatonin is fine since it doesn't conflict with anything I am already taking.

I also have an appt with an ortho doc about my right index finger. It's locking up and when it does, it hurts.

The good side of all these visits is my weight. Even dressed and with shoes on, I still weighed under 150.

 Well, you'll be glad to know that my birthday is the 26th, and nothing bad is every allowed to happen on my birthday, so I already know it will be a successful surgery!

Glad you don't have to wait that much longer to get it out! I hope that takes care of your pain..

Hopefully your gall bladder will be nice to you on your trip and you can come back and get it out.  I am so glad mine is gone already.

Have a good trip.

I am happy that you have a date to have your gallbladder out. I hope this will take away your pain. I'll swing some lizards that all will go well!

Best wishes for a successful surgery - we'll all be praying for you! 
You have a lot going on, but as your body settles down, then perhaps your sleeping issues will improve.

Take Care

Wow thats a lot going on but at least it is being taken care of! When my GB came out earlier this year I dropped 10 pounds in a week!!!! Good Luck hun swinging squirrels for ya! 

Hi there! Was surprised that your doc didn't take the gallbladder as is done usually at the time of your DS. Melatonin and. Benadryl are my sleep aides of choice. My son takes melatonin and thinks it's great. Sorry about the finger...my wife has a trigger giving her a problem says it hurts like heck! Good luck friend....Jeff
