Gallbladder Surgery
I had my gallbladder removed today. I was worried about the surgery, have had zero symptoms from it but a cat scan found gallstones and my weight loss surgeon said it is not good for a RNY'er to have gallstones.
So I was scheduled for surgery at 8:00, started on time and was in recovery by 9:00.
They woke me up at 11:00 AM, gave me some juice and a blueberry muffin, had me get up and walk and discharged me. I have a little pain, about a 2 on my right side under the ribs.
This was really easy so far.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Whoa! That's a quick turn around! Hope recovery is smooth!

Your so lucky that they discovered it early, I had mine out a couple of years ago and they had to open me up to remove it because my stones were so big and my gallbladder was so damaged. I had to go home with 2 drains for 14 days, it was a miserable time. So happy for you!
