Skippy Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Hey Don Don Let me know when and where you're going in and how long for - I may come visit you if you're in for a while. Try not to worry too much - I know it sounds flippant and I don't mean it to be. You're bound to be nervous but think how much this is going to help you feel better in the long run.

SarahLou Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Hi Donna, Firstly congrats on the weight loss, thats brilliant. I think it's only natural to worry about it, to be apprehensive about things. Talk things through with your pre op assessment nurse. Many yrs ago my sis had her gall bladder and stones removed, they filled a lil pot with her stones for her to keep! She's her stones, I've my head staples!! I remember her before her op, clinging off the bannisters at home in total agony. She had keyhole surgery and from what I remember recovery was quite quick. You could see the difference just looking at her face. Keep doing the best you can with the weight loss and exercise, it really really will help your recovery. Keep us updated. Good luck, big hugs to you. Take care and keep smiling, SarahLou Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
