I went to see the surgeon today to follow up after my surgery. She says I’m doing fine. I’ve been having some discomfort around some of the incision sites. She says that will get worse before it gets better but it’s perfectly common. In our discussion, she drew me a picture of what a normal gallbladder should look like and what mine looked like. Wow. Mine had developed kind of a neck with a stone stuck in that neck. Eventually, that stone would push out and create a hole between the gallbladder and the bladder. That would have been really bad.
My GI system has stabilized and the… um… output… is back to normal. She says I shouldn’t have to worry about what I eat now. For a while, there was a really good chance that eating would give me the runs, and that’s no longer a problem.
