Lacey! I neeeed youuuu.
You were right. Gallbladder surgery is in my immediate future. I'm glad they found out what was wrong. I need the dirty details please! I'm skeered.
Re: Lacey! I neeeed youuuu.
Outpatient. They told me that they wanted me to stay for at least a few hours, but I was out of bed walking around 45 minutes after surgery so I got to go home early. They kept on waking me up and I just wanted to sleep so I ate something, went on a short walk, peed, and stayed awake just long enough for them to release me early.
Thanks, Honeydew! I totally forgot that you had gallbladder surgery recently. I feel better.
ErikandAfton, my symptoms have been that I've had pretty much constant nausea and other stomach issues like clockwork every time after I eat for a few months now. I figured I just had a sensitive stomach so I've been blowing it off. No pain that I've noticed. It was liver function test elevations that raised a red flag.
Thanks! I made an appointment with my doctor for tomorrow because I'm starting to think the symptoms I have had off and on for a few months might be my gallbladder.
Hope your surgery goes well!
My experience was probably a little different because of the pregnancy. The pain wasn't unbearable but I couldn't take anything other than Tylenol so it didn't even take the edge off. I was also throwing up courtesy of the baby so that made it really painful. I believe most surgeries are outpatient, but they wanted me to stay. (I fought & told them I was leaving after a few hours because my nurse sucked.)
The doctor will tell you to get up & move around as much as you can stand; DO IT! It helps the gas escape your abdomen and makes everything feel much better.
Good luck!
