9/10 My surgery went great. Dr. left gall bladder for a later date to remove. Had surgery on 9/5 at 7:30 a.m. and was discharged at 5:00 p.m. on 9/7. Doing fine, nothing by mouth as yet but using feeding tube. First postop 9/13. Walking off gas pain, walking and laying down are best position. Sitting is uncomfortable because of position of staples, feeding tube and drain. Thanks for all the support, kind words, and encouragement.
