Gallbladder Surgery Blog July 14, 2009

Hi there! Here's the blog I promised you last week. Yesterday I had to have surgery to get my gallbladder removed because I have what's called "bililary dyskenisa"(sp?). My surgeon was Dr. Peter Ng. He did a very good job. He told me that my gallbladder was chronically inflamed and it was good I got it out when I did. I have about 4 incisions on my stomach since it was done laprascopic.---Thanks god for that part!

Until then I'm off work till next Wednesday the 22nd of July.

Talk to you guys later when I find out the details on July 28th from the consultation with Dr. Enochs on the 28th for the lapband surgery.

Bye!

Hi!

I just came across your vid. I'm 17 and have to have my gallbladder removed. I'm scheduled for the 13th of this month. I'm petrified. I've never had surgery before and I feel like with my luck, i'm gonna be screwed after the fact. I'm so scared. Just thought i'd put it out there, lol.

Hope you feel better soon!

Im happy to hear ur good.. I just had my gallbladder out about 2 weeks ago.. and Im still having pain from the top incisions and anything I eat goes right through me and im always feeling sick.. the pain from gallbladder isn't there ne more but its been 2 weeks and I still can't fully stand up straight without a back brace on. ur incisions are different from mine. but your better than I am so I gotta give u props cause my second day I was still drugged up and in pain mostly in my shoulders.

I just found out from my doctor (one of the top doctors in the world) that I can't eat a lot of oil from now on, or fat. I had to cut meat from my diet, which makes sense because I can't digest fat like I used to. Please let people know out there that we are prone to heart disease now if we continue to eat fat, as we don't have a gallbladder to digest it! Thank you so much, and thanks for your videos.

i just came across your video, and im 19 and had gall bladder surgery 4 months ago, you had it easy, because i was in surgery for 3hours, and i didn't recover or eat for 2 weeks, i was in so much pain... i have two scars from it, and im just glad i got that dang thing out, it was painful before and after! hope
