Results For Gallbladder Appt Today



Recommended Posts

:cry

My band Doc called after getting the results and I have 1 stone that has to be removed. It is 13mm big or over a inch 1/2. I could just cry I do not want another surgery. Anyway they put me down for the 26th of this month he does not want my gall bladder to get inflamed or infection to set in so that my band will be safe when he does go in. Will update as I get ready preop appt is for the 23rd hopefully they are scrambling to get me in..

Cannot say anything for the PCP office they still have not called.

But boy oh boy when they do :angry

Thank you all for your support through this ordeal of my pain. At least im not a Hypocondriac:)

Yes, you really want to get that taken care of. My gall bladder got inflamed and infected and I landed in the hospital for a 9 day stay. No fun! Take care.

Well, I am glad to hear they found the problem, and it is going to be taken care of. I know it is hard for another surgery, but better to get it taken care of before it gets worse. Keep us posted!

Hypocondriac

How funny! Weve NEVER thought of you as one. :)

My goodness Mary, youve been through the wringer! I had my gall bladder out about 12 years ago - and the pain from the stones is something you NEVER forget.

Are you going to have the laproscopic surgery?

((hugs))

Heck, your insurance may "cut you a deal" since your giving them so much business! lol

I wish the Hospital would cut me a deal to Paula.

It is going to be done Lap same way as the band, Same Dr who put my Band in to be exact. I know I am in good hands with him since he is just as worried about me keeping my band.

Thank you all I just feel it is all unreal but I just never planned on this I knew there was a chance but just did not think it would happen to me:)

But Like you say Paula that pain you just never forget and thinking about that is the only thing that drives me for them to get it done, do not want that pain again. So far Thank God I have not had another attack.

Told my husband and the first thing he says is "Are we going to you know what before you go have it done" I hung up on him. Men I tell you.

I'm so sorry Mary, but I'm sitting here laughing my hiney off right now. That is hilarious that your husband would say that!

On a sober note......I am happy that you're getting this taken care of right away. I too had my gall bladder removed back when I was 19 (11 years ago) and was sick with it for a year. It was horrible HORRIBLE pain, and I was so happy to get it taken care of.

Best of luck to you, and tell your husband to start thinking with the right head. LOL

OMG you girls have that right. You know he always tries to brighten the mood but that was truly out of right field. He did call back to say he did not really mean it but I know he did.

Another day and I am pain free for right now.. Blessed I tell you

I am so glad you got answers, even though I'm sure it is not the answer you wanted to hear, you now know why you were having the pain. I wish you the best :)

Sorry you have to go through another surgery but it is best that it is taken care of. You will feel better with out that yucky stone.

My Dr found a gallstone when I was going in for preop testing to get my band. I had to have my gallbladder removed and then wait 1 month to get my band.It is just like your band surgery and they even used some of the same incisions!!! You will do great!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
