Good to hear you are going home soon! I'm sure being around your family (and your cabs;)) will speed up the recovery!

All the best with this.

I had similar issues between 2004-2006.  The pain was incredible and I ended up in hospital a few times

I had the camera down my throat, but like others they sprayed the back of my throat and then gave me a shot of some really strong drugs.  I only remember bits of it.  They also gave me an ultrasound

Anyway I ended up having my gallbladder removed.  They did it by cutting three few small holes in you stomach and then remove the gallblader through the hole near your belly button.

It's true that you can have issues, going to the toilet a lot afterwards.  You've got to eat in small portions, and this make it less likely to happen.  It took me a while to recover but it's good to eat again without fear of horrendous pain

Is that for ever after or just during recovery ?

Anyway thats what they will do with me too in a few weeks.

Had a very good night, only awoke one time. Very nice nurse last two nights...she reminded me of a Dutch pop hit by Doe Maar in the 80's  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I dont have a fever so if my blood samples that they will take this morning are ok, Im heading back home.

O well.....might be a good thing for me ;)

Back home since early this afternoon.

Turns out there are still stones left in my blatter (they can't extract them with ERCP unless they're in the gallway). will be up for a check early december and then it's Laperscopic (or as we say in Holland a "Kijk operatie" (= "look operation") but they do a little more than just looking ;)

Normally it should be in hospital and return home the next day...

Gotta thanks everyone for their support, it really helps !

(P.S......I'd never thought to be actually happy to see some brown shit today !  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D)

Yeah, we are very happy with the knowledge that the shit is fine again  ;D

there is a expression my parents always told to me when i was recovering from illness, and there is a certain truth in it..

"als de roepert en de poepert het weer doen, dan is de ziekte ver over"

dont know how to translate that  :D  sorry bout that..

Here's something a little grosss... lol

When they did the laproscopic, afterwards it felt like everything would shift around in there when I sat up or moved.  Like Jello....

ewwwww

Well.....I have about the same feeling right now. Its like cramps/shooting pains now and then and I can actually see them happening....of course Im off the painkillers now so that doent help a lot...
I imagine its either because of the incision they made in the gallway or that my body is trying to reject the stand they put in there. I hope its just simple normal reactions though....

Still I slept extremely well last night, nothing like your own bed.....taking it easy next days...
Lost 6.5 kg in the process....but that's not much of a problem ;)

Tomorrow it's surgery time, finally. There was a period without any problems but the last week the slumbering pain returned. In a way a good thing as it surely increases my motivation ;)

Hope to report again soon...
