Jan 19/12 - Gallbladder be gone!

Jan 19, 2012

 

  Well it looks like my gallbladder issue is a bit worse than I thought!  I went to see my Surgeon today. (Dr. Hagen) and he pretty much said it has to come out. Otherwise he was happy to see me and very happy with my progress!  He scheduled me to have it removed Friday Feb 3rd. Which is in two weeks. 
I was actually in a bit of shock... I didn't think it was going to have to come out at all.  I just thought i would have to eat differently or something but he said it was just going to get worse and that if i had another attack before the 3rd to come straight to the hospital and he would do an emergency surgery.   Just as I was wrapping my head around that and trying to figure out work and kids... They called me back and moved it to this Monday! Oh boy!  
So now I have to get back to Toronto tomorrow to do my PATTS. Which if my memory serves me from past experiences could take a few hours! I don't know why I feel nervous... I know it's going to be a walk in the park compared to the Gastic Bypass but I still hate being put under!  I think it's just the fact that it's all happened so fast! I can't wait not to have to deal with these pains anymore!  Especially now that I know what they are. I thought it was from my eating or exercising and I was actually getting frustrated because I would get pain from eating something that I had eaten before and not had a problem with. Now I get it lol. Again I was aware that this could be an issue before I had Gastric Bypass but you never know how bad it can be until you are put in the situation!  Thankfully I will be able to have my husband and my mom with me on Monday and I'm ready to get this out :)
