Sorry you have had a really grim time Di but glad you are home and starting to get better. Sounds like it was a vg job you had the op when you did. I hope now you take things mega easy x

Thanks everyone and yes it was serious, could so easily have been terminal if the stones had moved out of the hole they created, thankfully its now all sorted, and i am on the mend albeit in pain for now. It also goes a long way to explaining why i had such trouble eating prior to my op, and while the hormones might play a part in it that also would have as well.

Right time to rest some more just a quick check in with you all as sitting at the PC is somewhat tiring

I'm so glad they sorted it in time Di. Have a speedy recovery and hope you can control the pain.

Take care Xx Phoebe

Pheobe i overdid it yesterday, made up with a sleep and had my forst pain free period as a result that evening, however still feeling it this morning, the 3 min trek to the GP too 15 mins each way with a sit on the wall outside until i stopped shaking and the shiffle back. now going to have a rest as i have to do it all again tomorrow so my staples can be removed

Hi Di

I can't get over these stones being embedded into your bowel...You were so lucky.
I wonder if your gallbladder should have removed when you had your BP...And would
they have found the stones then?

Important thing is that you are safe now....Speedy recovery and take care.

(((hugs)))

Eek Di, I suspected you might overdo it, don't we all though tbh. The minute we start to feel semi normal again, up we get and push ourselves a little too far. Hope the trip to the docs is easier for you tomorrow, good luck Xx

Snow Crystal, I'm under the same surgeon as Di, my referral to him was for gall bladder removal and bypass, with the intention of both being done together. Our surgeon prefers to do the two operations seperately for a number of reasons. firstly having both done together means you are under aneasthetic for double the length of time which he is unhappy about doing. Secondly, he prefers his patients to have lost a significant ammount of weight before he removes the gall bladder as it it safer regarding aneasthetic and also easier to physically perform the op itself. I was also told that, should the patient have post operative complications, it is far easier to ascertain what the problem is when only one procedure has been carried out.

I had hoped that both could be done together but can see the reasons why he choses not too. I'm thinking in Di's case, perhaps it was a good idea he didnt do both together as she woud have been under far longer than double the ammount of time and as the removal was as complicated as it was, it would have been harder to perform with the extra weight Di was then carrying.

I can understand that...

But I do think it is down to the individual surgeons opinion though; my surgeon says that he will remove the gallbladder if it has been problematic in the past...However if they remove the gallbladder you will end up with a lot more pain and discomfort post surgery...(I don't fancy that...lol)

I have had a couple of gallbladder flare ups and know that when you lose weight rapidly they are prone to flare up again.
