doubletrouble 0 Posted December 21, 2005 Good Luck Angie! I had my gallbladder out and I would do it one hundred times over to avoid one of the nasty attacks. There really is not alot of pain after the surgery just tenderness. It is almost like having the band placed. They only side effect I had was diarrhea if I ate anything too greasy. But you should not have that problem. It will be OK. Hopefully your kidney stones are small enough that you can pass them on your own. Drink lots and lots of Water to produce more urine and get those stones out of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dragonwillow 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Angie you should do GREAT, and you are in so much better shape physically than you were 6 months ago when you had the lapband, that recovery should be even easier! Good luck hon...I'm guessing it will be after new years? Melissa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bondgirl 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Ok well I saw Dr. B today and he sent me for a stat on my liver function. I am sitting here right now on pins and needles waiting to see if I am going to have SURGERY today! YEs you heard it! Surgery today! If my liver function is still elevated he is going to want to have me under the knife today and have it out. If now then we will be able to wait until after the holidays. Please wish me luck with this. I am so anxious it is killing me!!!!! Angie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gordonfamily3 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Girl why don't you scare someone....I am sooooo glad you don't have to have it today. Please keep up posted as to what is going on. Melissa is right you are so much better off then 6 months ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragonwillow 0 Posted December 22, 2005 So glad you don't have to have it today. How do they check your liver function and does the gall bladder affect that? I'm sick of baking now... Melissa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jttaurus 0 Posted December 23, 2005 Good Luck with the Gall Bladder, I had mine out in 2004, so I know this will be one challenge I won't have to face. I hope Dr B can do it for you, if not Gastonia SUrgical is pretty good, they took out mine. I felt like my recovery was adequate. I do take all the paid time off I can from work too because I don't have ANY help, we are riding solo in NC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bondgirl 0 Posted December 23, 2005 They check the liver function by taking blood. They took out about 6 viles of blood to check all my stats. It was crazy I tell ya! I was woozy. Dr. B can do it and will schedule it after the holidays. He is a great Surgeon and I respect him very much. I feel very comfortable now knowing he can do this for me. Just hope and pray my gallbladder stays fine until after the 2nd of January. Angie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
