Guest guest Posted April 3, 2001 Report Share Posted April 3, 2001 Thank you for all of your support and for sharing me your experiences. It made me realize what my consequences are. However, I am willing to take that path and to see it on my own eyes. I just hope I will not regret it like the others. Wish me luck. I will let you know how it went.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2001 Report Share Posted April 3, 2001 Hi ! Surgery will most likely be a breeze... it is for most people. Two in my family have had it and had NO problems (directly) with their gb's. They rarely suffer any indegestion problems. Unfortunately, both a quite heavy and the rest of the family is not. The assumption that taking out the gb solves all the problems is incorrect. The reason the gb is in pain is that your body is telling you something is wrong with the fuel you are putting in your body. IF you heed the advice of eating right, lots of fresh organic fruits and vegies, regularly take EFA's (flax seed oil) and lecithin, and only occaisionally eat dairy products.... you should have NO problems after surgery! Good Luck in removing the bad part... but remember that your body needs good fuels so that other parts (liver, kidneys) do not get clogged! ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Good luck Carol.

I'm holding good thoughts for you and your hubby and Lori. Relax, Floors and laundry will get done when needed, spend time with hubby and the daughter, the other stuff will wait.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Dear Carol, I just wanted to speak to you, so close to surgery, this shock with must be hitting you really hard. I'm reading all this at three a.m( can't sleep once again) and realized when I was talking about West Coast members I left you out, I'm so sorry. This must be such a shock for all of you out there, who have talked and met, I felt I knew her through all the messages she's sent, but you guys must be feeling it really profoundly. I just wanted to touch bases with you, this is a emotional time getting ready for surgery, and to add this I just wanted to make sure you are okay. If you need someone to talk to, e-mail me your number personally and I'll call. .Kirkaldie@... [ ] Ready for Surgery Well, Tuesday's the big (1st) day!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Carol, I know you are in the last days of preparing for surgery and news of 's passing may make it difficult to stay calm and centered in the days ahead. Please don't try to " do it all " ...the laundry will get itself done, the chores can wait. Enjoy your family and friends and try to relax. Remember that tension (either about cleaning the rugs or upcoming surgery) will increase your pain levels. I know we will all be anxiously waiting to hear how things have gone on Tuesday and we will all be sending you our prayers and wishes for a very good outcome. Peace, Cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I will be thinking of you on Tuesday and looking forward to hearing how it goes. I will probably not be thinking of you on the second date, though! I hope that one goes well, too, but that is the date of my first stage, and I have to be to the hospital by 5:30 AM. Wishing you all the best and keeping you in my prayers. > > Well, Tuesday's the big (1st) day!
