On Monday, I received the call I had expected for 5 days... my gall bladder needs to come out. I have been to the ER twice in almost 2 months with severe abdominal pain. The first time, they assumed it was just a spasm. The second time, they thought it was my gall bladder. I went to my GI doc Thursday afternoon to confirm it. He took some more blood, which showed my liver enzymes were very high. So, out it comes!
I have no idea when this is all happening. It's not very comfortable right now. I can feel my gall bladder now. It just feels big. I tried to do yoga on Saturday, but had to stop, because it hurt. It's really made me have better posture, because when I slouch it aches.
So, I meet with my surgeon for the first time on Friday to figure out when he'll be taking my gall bladder out. It shouldn't be too big of a deal, but I can't wait for the threat of gall bladder attacks to end.
By the way, no one told me that loosing a significant amount of weight could make a borderline gall bladder go bad. It's true! Who knew? I guess if that's the only downside, then loosing my 45+ pounds is still worth it :)
