So I have not written a journal entry in forever, but thought I would mention that I had my gallbladder removed on Jan. 23, 2007. I was having pretty regular attacks of terrible upper abdomin pain that would last for up to 6 hours! It was terrible and hard to take, so we decided the best thing to do was to have it taken out. I had the surgery around 5pm on Tuesday, spent the night in the hospital, and returned home on Wed. around 2pm. At around 4:30 I paged Dr. Hess as I wasn't able to even swollow my own spit. He had me come into the office and they removed the 1cc of liquid from my band. I guess there was some swelling from the surgery and that was making it hard for me to get/keep anything down. Mom was with me from Tues. until yesterday am. yesterday was a pretty good day, then last night was bad, throwing up, etc. So i'm done taking the meds as I know that's why i was so sick last night. anyway, planning on going back to work on monday, but I'm going to take it easy and see how I'm feeling on mon.

going to get some gatorade now to make sure I stay hydrated.
