So long, gall bladder.

My doctor's nurse just called. I had a gall bladder test yesterday that came back abnormal, and the only solution is to take it out. I meet with a general surgeon on Thursday and hope to have surgery next week so I can be recovered in time for Vegas. I hope.

So, if you could keep your fingers crossed that all goes smoothly as I say adios to my gall bladder, I'd appreciate it. :)

Re: So long, gall bladder.

  • Wow, that's a fast turnaround.

    What does ones gall bladder actually do?

    Fingers crossed!

  • That was a fast turnaround which is good! I've always wondered what the gall bladder is for too and how will your body change once it's removed.

    Praying that the surgery will go smoothly and you have a fast turnaround so you can party it up in Vegas!

    PCOS and Endo

    Ovarian drilling and endo removed 1/3/12
    BFP - 3/27/12
    Beta's 11, 14, 57, 637, 2800
    Sono showed no baby and teeny tiny sac. Waiting to M/C naturally.

  • From what I've been told, the gall bladder holds the bile produced by the liver and releases it when fatty stuff needs to be broken down. Not enough bile is getting out of my gall bladder, so the fatty stuff isn't getting digested properly and is making me feel like crap. Once it's removed, the bile will just just go from the liver to the places where food is digested, which won't cause issues with digestion or anything like that.

    It's probably a blessing in disguise that this is going on...it's forced me to eat less, eat better and quit drinking so much soda. I do feel sick a lot of the time though, so I'm ready for it to be out. Thanks for the T&Ps ladies. :)

  • Oh, and I'm totally surprised at the fast turnaround, too. My doctor's currently in Romania on his yearly mission trip, so the fact that all this got handled is amazing - I thought I was going to have to wait another week.

  • Good luck with the doc on thursday, hope everything goes smoothly.  I had a friend that had her's removed a couple years ago and they did it laproscopically, and it was quick and easy surgery.

    Surgery will be done locally, and my mom will stay with me to help with JJ for a few days. I thought my insurance would make me go to an MTF, but since I live more than 50 miles away from any military base/post, I guess I get to do it in town.

    Surgery date will be set tomorrow, I hope. I'm crossing my fingers that it can be done no later than next Friday. :) That's good to know that people bounce back relatively quickly from this - shouldn't have to miss too much work. Sweet!
