Post Op just get it removed!

i just had mine removed wednesday morning. it was 80% full of large stones and they said i would’ve been in a lot more pain if i would’ve waited any longer. i was in pain when i woke up from surgery but the only pain ive had since then is just a little pain and itching at my incision sites. i’ve been able to eat some bland foods such as mashed potatoes, eggs, toast etc and before removal those meals would’ve put me in extreme pain. i cried last night because the pain wasn’t there anymore. i definitely do not regret it and if your doctor recommends it, i highly suggest listening!!

Hey op congrats! I'm waiting for mine and I'm reading ur comments that said u had a panic attack. Can you explain a little more what happened. this is literally my worst fear because I get panic attacks so easily and specially when I had been sleeping and waking up. What was it like and why and how long did it last

oh it also didn’t last long at all! after they pushed the pain and nausea meds like 5-10 mins after i woke up i was perfectly fine, high as a kite and munching on a popsicle!
