Andrea Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I get to have my gallbladder sucked out tomorrow, so I may not be on line or on as much for the next few days. Hope to see you all soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Oh Andrea-- I feel your pain. I had this done a few years ago. I hope it all goes well and you're back home soon. Take sweat pants, no one warned me I wouldn't want to put jeans back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I second RY's advice of taking sweats...also, keep the ice bag on the wounds. Hopefully you're getting the laproscopic surgery with a few small cuts and not the big single cut! Take your pain pills right on time the first few days, you'll be just fine. (BUT, if you're looking to get some sympathy and a pedicure, I'll SWEAR it's absolutely horrible and ANYONE who can walk afterwards is one tough cookie!) Actually, I walked a lot the day after my surgery, I would suggest you do the same, keeping that ice pack on your tummy and reloading it when the ice goes bye-bye... Good luck!

shineladysue Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Prayers coming for everything to go well in surgery and recovery to be easy and quick. Hugs, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Oh, Andrea, you are too busy to do this. But, you will be much more comfortable soon. I had big time surgery to have my gallbladder removed: enormous scar + scar for drainage tubes, 11 days in the hospital, and no complications. They did things differently back in the 70s. Best wishes for an uncomplicated surgery and speedy recovery. You'll want the sweat pants and ice bag, tho. Muriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
