    if i were you id hope they DONT find anything

    gall bladder removal is way better than bleeding ulcers or stomach cancer

    its better if its just a gall bladder

    You will be fine, the anesthesiologist will be there to make sure you keep breathing. It is probably best for you to do this sooner than later. Best wishes and get back soon to us and let us know how it went!

    I just looked it up.

    Blood oxygen is usually between 95 - 100.

    Under 90 is considered low.

    Pa02 under 80 is low.

    Had my procedure done yesterday it was pretty rough they didn’t put me totally out because I’m on oxygen they had me swallow this crap that numbs the throat When they put the tube down my throat I couldn’t breathe and I was gaging but it was over before I knew it All they said was that my stomach is really messed up and I might have gastritis so they suggested that I take Zantac twice a day along with my other stomach pill i take in morning If that doesn’t help I don’t know what I’ll do

    How are you feeling?

    I have had two surgeries within 5 weeks. They will monitor every aspect of you need surgery.

    Relax....breathe....

    Jen, I'm sure it's a big adjustment for you. Maybe you need to go to a professional counselor.

    You're fucking tough, Jen! Even if you feel like you're not handling it well/find it too heavy. Many others would do worse i bet.
