As I told you all a while ago I have been having trouble with my gall bladder. Well I went and saw my surgeon on Friday and He said it has to come out. That an infected GB can infect my band and then I would lose my band. NO WAY!! My surgery is Friday the 15th. I will have to stay overnight because of my disability and the fact that I live so far away from hospital. He said it's better safe than sorry. I agree!

I swear when I get to Heaven (many many years from now) I am going to ask God why he put all this stuff in us that we don't really need!!

Oh well, Wish me luck, Pray for me or send me white lights, what ever you believe just send it my way.

SEE YA!

Awwww, sorry to hear that, but it really will be over and done with pretty fast. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

Hi Terri, I hope everything goes well for you. You are in my thoughts.

Good luck on Friday I'm sure you and your doctor have made the right choice.

Good luck! You'll be up and around in no time!! Sending prayers up for your uneventful surgery and speedy recovery!

Best of luck to you. I thought the gallbladder surgery was easier than the lapband surgery. Let us know how you're feeling post-op.

My thoughts are with you. Good luck on your surgery.

Good luck. I had my gallbladder out a few months ago. I think that it was easier than the band surgery. Hope you feel better soon.

Coyote Girl,

I will definitely send prayers your way.

Now you take it easy when you get home and don't try to play superwoman.

Hugs,

You will feel sooooooo much better with that nasty gall bladder gone. I know I was like a new woman after mine came out. I was back to my usual self in just a few days. Recover quickly, let us know how you ae doing. ~Mandy

I'm so glad your doctor found the problem before it turned into an emergency situation -- please find comfort in knowing that! Good luck to you - wishing you well in surgery & through recovery!

Kristin

Thank you everyone for your well wishes and prayers. I'm not really that nervous about this surgery but I am bummed I have to have it. My surgeon said it would be easier because of my weight loss so it should be a piece of cake.

Hugs to all and again Thanks!

I got all my pre-op done today. I feel as if I walked 100 miles in that hospital. I had to have blood test, ekg, chest x-ray and urine test.

Well at least that part is over. Wednesday they are going to call me for pre-admit so I don't have to drive the 3 hours and then back. and then back again on Friday.

Talk to ya later!!

Hey Terri, just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you. Hope your GB comes out nice and clean!

Get that GB out before it can affect your band baby!

So, you said you felt like you'd walked 100 miles... Does this mean that you are walking? (yes? Yes!)

Good luck! Don't forget to keep us posted!

Thanks Crystal!! I walked around the hospital on my crutches, but I couldn't have done that a year ago!!! Last year it was wheelchairs or scooters.

I even went on a 2 mile hike this past weekend. It was put on by my surgeons office. Well, I walked some of it anyways. I did have to ride a scooter a little of it. 2 miles on a dirt path! Yeah me!!!

God I love this band!!
