Yup so I went in today. Surgeon dude was happy I've lost weight but I have to lose a bit more so I've to go back in 3 months and they'll decide what to do next then.

But it looks like it's definately coming out because for 1 thing, if they just remove the stones then they'll just come back and 2 the stones are really small and he's worried that they'll try to leave the gallbladder and either block the bile duct or cannonball into my liver or another nearby organ. So now I'm paranoid about gallbladder cannon balls cos everytime I feel a strongish twinge I'm like "Hope that wasn't my liver".

Aw man that sucks, you'll hanging by your toe nails until then. But just relax whenever you can and try to keep your mind off of it.

But now I know what the delay's for. If I lose weight than that makes the surgery safer and easier because the first fat deposits form around the liver and gallbladder. The less there is, the easier it is to get to and the less damage they can do. So I have to lose a few more kilos. OW OW OW!!! I hope that didn't just cannonball my liver.

Sorry to hear this, however as a nurse i feel i can offer some reassurance.
I look after patients having your op all the time (colycystectomy) and nine times out of ten they can do it laporascopically so just four little holes and no big scar. It is only when there are difficulties that they have to go to an open coly. This is most likely why they need you to lose weight first cos it reduced the complication risk.

And if a gall stone cannoned into your liver you would probably pa** out. It is very rare and its more likely that it would move to your comon bile duct instead and you would become jaundiced so you'd know quite quickly.

Just take care of yourself and try not to worry too much. Hope it all goes well!!

Thanks but I'm really not worried about this at all, except for the whole turning yellow thing. I'm fine with it. I've done my googling and I trust the guy who's gonna take it out. I'm cool with the whole idea I just want it out of my asap.
