Looks like I need to go under the knife again !! .. this time for a gall-bladder polyp. Its been causing me a lot of pain over the last few weeks ... at least this should be a quickie surgery ... and should not cause me to miss the brunch ! :)

WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?! Ok, pirate socks will be washed, prepared, ready for action! What is the date of procedure and dang, Joe.... NO MORE PAIN!!!!!!!!!

Yikes, Joe!
Wishing you good luck, and that you're ready for the apple dumpling!

glad the impending surgery isn't AN or BAHA related. That was my first thought when reading the title of this topic.
Hope the procedure is uneventful and the recovery is swift and painless.
And whatever you do, don't miss those apple dumplings. They are famous worldwide - well, at least here on the Forum.
One of these days I'm going to get me one of those apple dumplings.

Hi, Joe ~
I have to admit that you had me going with that topic heading but now that I know it's gall bladder-related and not AN-related, I'm a bit relieved but still sorry you need surgery, which, I assume, will be endoscopic and thus, minimally invasive and with a very rapid recovery. My wife, the lovely and gracious Tina, underwent surgery a few years ago to remove her gall bladder and it was relatively easy. Your polyp removal should be even easier.
I'm sorry I'll miss seeing you at the ANA brunch in Worcester on the 17th but a scheduling conflict arose and I reluctantly had to bow out. You can have my dumpling. I'll be at the spring conclave. See you then.

I thought it must be AN related too ... had gall bladder removed 30 years ago the old fashion way ... new techniques shod give yo a speedy recovery ... good luck

So is there a House Gall Bladder Clinic? ;)
Best wishes, Joe. Hope it is a snap.

My oldest daughter had her gallbladder out 3 weeks ago. Sore for a few days and then felt fine and enjoyed her 2 weeks off and went shopping some while the kids were in school and at the sitter. Back from the OR at 2 and home at 5. When I was working we kept alot of our gallbladders overnight. Like everything else, it all varies! Cheryl R

I like that idea... take 2 weeks off ... rest for a couple days post op... and then go fishing the rest !! ;D ;D :-*

Joef,
Sorry to hear about your gallbladder prob. When is it scheduled? Best wishes for a quick one day surgery with fast recovery.

Glad you kept those gallbladders overnight - did they do special tricks? What did you do with them after the 1st night!! ::) ;D ::)

Thanks for the good laugh! Maybe I should say we kept the gallbladder patients all night! I even hate to think where the gall bladder ended up past surgery. Cheryl R

Joe, sorry to hear that. I just saw this.
Hope to see you on the 17th if it isn't moved or canceled.

Hi Joe: I had my gallbladder removed years ago - you'll feel so much better once the surgery part is behind you.
Piece of cake compared to AN surgery...
Always good thoughts, Nancy

Keep up with your pain meds for a few days and be sure to get up and walk around the house. You're going to feel so much better soon! Starr

Thanks for the update. Good to learn that although you're minus your gall bladder you're on the mend - at home.
