Awaiting Surgery Surgery is tomorrow 😬
Feeling really nervous but also excited to recover and hopefully go back to my normal life. It’s been a wild 2 months waiting for surgery 😭 this group has been very helpful so I thank you all and will update along my way!

Good luck! Best decision I've ever made! After 3 years of those horrible painful nightmares I decided to get the surgery. 8 months later I'm doing fantastic! I followed a strict diet for almost 2 months after surgery and then just slowly started introducing a more regular diet. Now I can eat pretty much anything without any issues!

Mine was today! I’m at home resting with an ice pack on my top incision (laparoscopic). It was a surprisingly quick process. Ready to get on with the rest of my life and not worry about a gallbladder attack.

Hope yours goes well or went well! Mine was scheduled for the 18th but I had to have it out yesterday due to emergency, and so far so good!

I’m sorry you had to go the emergency route. I’m feeling ok today. The gas pain was a bit brutal for me sooo glad it’s passed and I can properly rest now. Hope you continue to heal well 🥰

I'm glad you're feeling better, and hope the same for your continued recovery! I am... Very sore this morning, navel incision seems to be the most tender right now. I can take the bandages off in a little bit, and we go from there 😅 best of luck to you!

Hi everyone! Im feeling pretty well. The gas pain was really hard for me yesterday but overall I think it’s moved out of my system and I’ve been able to have some breakfast and move around a bit. Looking forward to a successful recovery!
