Today's update

Seen my surgeon and he will remove that horrible gallbladder for me

He is not charging over what he claims back from Medicare and my health fund so all I have to pay for is the anaesthetist and my health cover excess. It will still cost me around 1000 out of pocket but I think it's less stress knowing my surgeon will be doing it and not some no name nelly.

That's great news! This means you will get it a lot sooner, right? How have your symptoms been?

Have you been able to keep them under control?

You will be feeling so much better after you get the gallbladder out. In 1990 they weren't taking them out laparoscopically, so I had an open removal with an incision under my right ribcage. Still, it wasn't too bad at all, I healed nicely and no more pain, or side effects for me.

Good luck!

Symptoms have been ok actually, I've been pretty good. *touch wood*

Surgery is set for April 30, so nice and soon in my opinion, I haven't even heard from the public hospital that my GP had referred me to.

It's taken heaps of stress off my mind already.

Today tho, am sick as a dog in bed with flu, could not even hold my head up earlier, watch out guys if this is the new flu this year, it's nasty!

That's great about not having to wait to long!!

But not good about the flu :(

Is it flu season already over there? Flu season is winding down around here and I made it through without getting it. Which is good because I feel like my resistance is down lately.

Yep it's started already, dam flu. We were told here in Aus that's it's going to be particularly nasty this year.

I was just about to make Drs appointments to get us all our shots, thanks Pete (my son) for giving mum the flu LOL

I'm excited about another surgery, hoping this will be the last tho at least unless its cosmetic and I totally need it!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
