Hi everyone....Thank you for all the well wishes.

The surgery went fine, I am really sore but so glad that I won't have to deal with that pain again. He also went ahead and took out my appendix at the same time, so very thankful for that too!

I have not been able to figure out what triggered it because it would hit out of nowhere and sometimes I had just eaten and other times I haven't eaten at all, so no rhyme or reason to any of it. I still find it crazy that I can go from a beautiful empty gallbladder to one filled with stones in just a short time.

How wonderful that everything went well and that you don't have to fear the pain anymore. How long do you expect the soreness to last? What kind of restrictions do you have?

[kwindham 57]

Glad everything went well naomi! Hope you have a speedy recovery!

I talked to surgeon yesterday. He wants me to still have the egd on mon aug 6 to make sure there is nothing other than my gallblader that needs to be fixed or removed. I go back to his office the next monday aug 13 and we will schedule surgery then.to have the gallbladder removed. So it looks like Im going to get to wait until a little later after all! Although yesterday and last ***ht I was having those spells and wanted it taken out right then! lol Hoping for a better day today!

Congrats on the stairs! Im so clumsy I have to hold on or risk a tumble!

It looks as though it will all work out for you. That's wonderful! I hope you can get through without those attacks. Please keep us informed. We all need to stick together for support.

[kwindham 57]

Naomi, how are you feeling? Is your recovery going ok? Keep us posted!

[notime 340]

Naomi, What is going on with you? We all hope you are doing well. We haven't heard from you and would like an update.

[DogMom3 11]

Sorry everyone....yes, I am doing great. The soreness is almost gone and I go back to work tomorrow. My only restrictions are to limit what I lift for the next 2 weeks. It was a nice simple recovery and I am so thankful again that I won't have to deal with that pain, it makes me more sensitive to the patients that come into the ER with gallbladder pains.

[notime 340]

That's very good to hear. Great recovery.

[kwindham 57]

So glad to hear your having a good recovery!

[Joni 94]

Good news! Glad you checked in - we missed you!

Hello everyone, sorry I have not been on here as much as I should. I have been extremely busy with my boys and work. Alex just finished a baseball season with all stars and Travel baseball. I also had some visitors come and go a few times in the last month. I have lost 70 pounds so far and have only 35 more to go. Weight loss is starting to slow down a bit but I'm ok with that because I have been eating a little bit more. I'm so sorry to here about my co-sleevers having problems with their GB. Like Joni, my doctor also put me on actigall twice a day thank goodness! I wish you guys well and a speedy recovery. Mean while I will try to be more consistent with my updates.
