Yes, you have reason to be nervous. But. You have to relax your gut. I had this and the surgery is quite fast. You feel better immediately. Then you wonder how long you’ve been living with the discomfort.

I was at a hair salon. Embarrassed as all get out. I started coughing and the next thing you know I had my hand over my mouth. I heaved and oh my. I was in tears. I didn’t know what was going on.

They let me go next door to sit and get something in my stomach. Wrong. I had greasy eggs and something else, while I waited for my then husband. I could t drive. He asked me if I wanted to go to the hospital and I said no, I’ll be alright,

Well before we got home I said Ya, I think I better go.
Yuppers emergency GB surgery.

Can you find someone else you can trust to get it done sooner. I don’t get how they think you won’t have it explode in that time. Then it’s serious sepsis.

I was angry also they never gave me a diet nor did they send a nutritionist to see me. It was a hard time but you will come out much better. I think it was greasy food. But I can sure put away a fried chicken wing now. No problem. .

I just hope that I don't have a stone in my bile duct in addition to the gallbladder, which is kind of what my symptoms are pointing to. But I guess we'll see if that's the case after they take my gallbladder out. Funsies. This year has just sucked!!!

I just want my normal eating and working out schedule back
I'll be keeping you in my prayers this week, Lori. (((hugs))) The remainder of the year HAS GOT to get better!!! Take care.

Thanks, everyone, for the well wishes! I have just never had such poor health before this year, and each of these setbacks is just really depressing.

Here to tell you, it came to pass. Thank goodness these set backs are just set ups to something better. Be ready for it.
