Guest guest Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Hang in there, Fran! I hate surgery too (have had 8 of 'em). It won't be long before you'll be feeling better. Every day gets better, every week gets much better. maralee **** **** Ended up having my gallbladder surgery thursday morning. **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 I empathize with you Fran with Pain before Gallbladder bust. With me It was so bad I was curled over on the way to hospital - in back seat and walking. Then I had to sit on emergency room floor for thirty minutes before going in. Once on the gurney - I said DOC - it hurts - gave me a big shot of Demerol - was in heaven. Did an endoscopy removal, but had complications with gallbladder so inflamed, it wrapped around an artery. They say I'm lucky I didn't have to be cut wide open or bleed to... Anyway - that's my Gallbladder experience. Sure does feel better!!! - you'll be stumped why you didn't do something about it earlier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Wow scott you had a bad one. Mine was hurting too before they took me in. It hurt to lay flat. Im still hurting pretty good now. I have a ton of gas bubbles traveling all over and up into my shoulders. Cant wait for them to leave and me heal. I should be able to eat more of a variety of foods now. My gallbladder wasent letting me eat very much stuff. Im looking forward to an enchalada of all things...haha fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 I know so many people who have had your surgery Fran...one friend is waiting for hers. They tell me pain is part of it, but the relief later is worth it...keep focusing on that and being kind to yourself meanwhile. Hang in there.
