7 months post op and loving it!!!

Apr 10, 2009

It's hard to believe that it has been seven months since my surgery!  I am feeling well, with one exception.....bad gallbladder. It has been giving me some pain, more right flank but also some right upper outer quadrant abdominal pain.  So after some tests and checking things out, I had my gallbladder out last week. For anyone who has been there, done this, my HIDA scan which measures gallbladder function, was 4%.  Anything below 35 % is considered a diseased gallbladder, normal is like 70%!!! So I decided that I would have surgery on my terms and time than my gallbladder's.  I certainly didn't want it to act up during our beach vacation next month or even worse the week/day of my daughter's wedding in June! I weathered the surgery well.  Had it laparoscopically.  Went into surgery at 4:40 pm on Wednesday after working until 3 and was on my way home at 8pm!  I am truly blessed, I recover sooo quickly and easily from surgery.  I took a few days off and was back to work on Monday.
This was a long, tiring week, but finally made it to Friday.
I have now lost 99 lbs.  I feel great and once again, my only regret is that I didn't do this long ago.
Will post new picture soon.
