I visited my surgeon this afternoon. Scheduled surgery for Monday, August 4th. Leaving for the World on Monday August 18th.........tell me I'm doing the right thing!!!!!
A little backround........5 years ago, I was having gallbladder problems. Have one gallstone. Had an appointment scheduled with a surgeon. The morning of my appointment, I find out I'm pregnant! OK so no surgery then. Told to take care of it after baby is born. Of course, never bothered me again..........out of pain, out of mind! Anyway, was on vacation the second week of July.......lo and behold, have a gallbladder attack (anyone who has ever had one can relate....anyone who hasn't, you're very lucky!!) Emergency room visit and all. Came home and lo and behold, had another one a week later! Another emergency room visit! Can't live like this any longer!! Brings me to today. Saw the surgeon. He said he can do it BEFORE my trip (it is lazer surgery, not cutting!) and I will be fine to go away!! He said I can wait until AFTER but then I will be worried my whole trip that I will have another attack!!
So I bit the bullet and scheduled for this Monday! Anyone who has had this surgery, please reassure me I'll be alright!! (not to mention I've never had anesthesia (?) before and it is very nerve-racking to me! I've had two C-Sections and recovered quick with both of them!!
Any words of encouragement to get me through the next week is very welcomed!!!!
