BTW I'm going to have gallbladder surgery for my gallstones. Will have more details next week.
I am so glad I had that surgery. I had been putting it off. What a difference it made. I had three major attacks before, and they were brutal.
When they took it out, it was gangrenous. Would have died in the old days.
The scope surgery is so easy compared to the old way. My doc even gave me a DVD with the whole surgery just as he saw it. Very cool. They actually put a plastic bag inside me, put the GB into it, closed the bag, and hauled it out. Amazing. The guy does 300+ a year.
The worst pain was a blood blister under a piece of tape.
Good luck!
I had it a few weeks ago. Once you are a few weeks out, you will find it hard to believe that you ever even had surgery, except that you feel so much better. I was in and out of the operating room in less than 45 minutes (and mine was complicated by a second procedure) and was home by 2:15 in the afternoon.
