Gallbladder Surgery
Hi guys, new here. I’ve been checking out articles and forums for a while now but finally decided to join in. I hope to become a bit more active in this great SMA community.
After having pain and having it checked out I was told I have gallstones. It honestly didn’t bother me for the most part so decided to just monitor it. Fast forward a yr and a half and it’s gotten more uncomfortable. Not intense pain but pain that is just there. I had an appointment with my Dr. this week and have decided to schedule surgery to remove it. Surgery is not ideal but the pain has gotten uncomfortable enough that I’ve had to agree. I would rather have a planned surgery rather than an emergency surgery.
I have seen a few posts in forums about members having had issues with their gallbladder or having it removed. I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences/tips/ things I should bring up to my dr. I’m having a bit of anxiety regarding the surgery, anesthesia, intubation. I haven’t had problems in the past but it’s been nearly 10 yrs since I’ve had to be put under.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
