Just found out I have to have surgery to get my gallbladder taken out

Just found out I have to have surgery to get my gallbladder taken out has anyone ever had surgery to get their gallbladder taken out keep in mind I have chronic respiratory failure to collapse lungs that will never heal my organs are all squished together pushing my stomach out and I am on oxygen 24 seven any advice or thoughts would be great thank you

 

probably in and out in an hour

they really advanced this procedure into a simple laparoscopic surgery,,,,couple tiny holes in your gut skin and they pump in some air then go in with small tools and a camera

 

Ok thanks I’m sure the anesthesiologist Will want to talk to my pulmonologist And of course the doctor that is operating on me

 

i had mine out year before last following Acute Pancreatitis, where I was intensive care for a week,
just keyhole a couple of holes - They did say, if needed to they may have to operate fully , if the keyhole does not work
I'm fine and fully recovered

 

I don’t have any words of wisdom Jennifer but I will be sending out good thoughts and well wishes for a
Fast recovery.

 

Oi, good luck


I will offer some humour (sort of)....I guess there is a meme for everything

 

My friend had his gallbladder taken out and now he doesn't digest fat as well as he used to and has had to cut back on fatty foods. Jen, I know you've had to switch to edibles, and I have to tell you pot brownies and cookies give him some mild indigestion due to the high fat content. He's switched to nonfat edibles such as gummies.

 

My card is excpired since iv gotton sick with oxygen iv kinda of gotta out of the pot

 

You will do great, Jen!

Those smart doctors will take perfect care of everything!

Don't worry!

 

Michigan's voting on passing recreational marijuana, so hang in there!

 

Thanks guys please pray for me or just keeep me in your thoughts thank you

 

That would be awesome if they pass that law I have old kief my caregiver gave me but not sure how to use it to bake

 

You'll be fine. My supervisor is having his gallbladder removed this coming Thursday and is scheduled to be back at work the following Monday, so it must not be that huge of a deal. He said the only thing was he would be limited on how much weight he's allowed to lift until he is done healing.

Good luck!!

 

I am on oxgen 24/7 my respiratory system is failing I have collapses lungs that will never heal I am at even more risk with my failing health

 

I am in so much pain I’m absolutely miserable

 

My oxygen is dropping

 

Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in

 

Well surgeon does not think it’s the gallbladder he’s not ruling that out yet he wants to do a procedure on me the day after tomorrow he’s going to take a scope with a camera down my throat into my stomach and get images and do a couple biopsies and see what is going on

 

Man, i don't know what to say... except that we're thinking of you! Lets hope he does find out soon! Take care

I do want to say gallbladder schmallbladder! but now it appears it might not be the issue after all
