Vor is up for a cholecystectomy

[vorlon13]

If you get the laparoscopic procedure you'll have four small holes, three in a line and one in the umbilicus, the "exit" for parts not needed any more. I didn't need any meds after 72 hours.

Good to hear.

How did eating go ??

I'm assuming I get an information packet as they shovel me out the door, but real world info is always great.

I figure slow and steady progression to my 'regular' diet, but when I was shopping earlier, I was amazed at how much fat is in everything.

My older sis said within a month she was pretty much not watching out for anything, something I find encouraging.  I don't want to push things, I really hate throwing up.


CL will find this hysterical:

A major side effect of the narcotic pain reliever is constipation.  I was plugged up anyhow from truck driving and diet change that goes along with harvest, and I've been a little (mistakenly) skittish of late about Fibercon, but lo and behold, got real brave, steeled my resolve, braced myself for the worst and popped a suppository.

Relief accrued in a 1/2 hour.  Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine, the log jam blew itself into the watery void, scared EABUC#2 with a whoop of accomplishment, and am looking forward to first thing in the morning now.

Another curious preparatory item was being informed to wash with special soap tonite, sleep on freshly laundered bedding, wear freshly laundered clothes, shower again in morning with more special soap, and head on in to be gutted like a pig being prepared for a luau.

You can't imagine how badly I want this over with.

Get it out of me!!

Get it out of my body!!!

Now now now !!!!

Ask them if they can save the stones for you. You might want something to vent at later. 

I wonder which type they are.

[Seraphina]

Good luck, vorls, and I hope you feel better soon!

Hope you feel better soon! This joint would never be the same without you!

[Whateverist]

Best of luck, Vorly. I only wish Valky was available to do the cutting.

[brewer]

Best of luck, Vorly.  I only wish Valky was available to do the cutting.

If they do a Lap only, she'd just be disappointed.

[Minimalist]

All the best, V.

Try to behave yourself!

[vorlon13]

appreciate all !!

[ignoramus]

Can't they blast the stones with radio waves?
Beethoven's 9th movement should suffice.

Might be good news:

was just reminded of neighbor lady here several years ago went in for severe shoulder pain and they just weren't finding any causes for it.

Then they checked her gall bladder, it was full of stones, and when it was removed, shoulder pain was fixed !!


Really hoping that happens for me.

Srsly, shoulder has been killing me for months. If that takes care of it I'm gonna be a happy camper.
