Gall Bladder full of stones - hinder my surgery?
After going today to have my pre-op tests done I'm a little worried. They did a bone density and took SIX vials of blood. Then they did an ultra sound - they said of my gall bladder. But then they also did liver, spleen, pancreas. She didn't really say much about it - and I am a chicken so didn't ask - but she DID say my gall bladder was pretty packed with stones. I don't think I've had any pain from my gall bladder, nothing I can point to and say OUCH about anyway. Now I am wondering a couple things. Do you think that will make it so I can't have LAP RNY on 3/25? I wonder if he'll want to take my gall bladder at the same time (and do open?) or can he do it with the lap? Or will he make me get my gall bladder out and wait for my WLS? Any experiences you might have had on this line - would be appreciated.
