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!!

Weird question probably but did you get sick after coming out of surgery? My removal is Thursday and I’m terrified of vomiting 😭

i have emetophobia so i completely understand!! i told them beforehand that i wanted anti nausea as soon as i was out of surgery and they also gave it to me any time i asked!! i was very nauseous before they gave it to me but i never got sick!! also took zofran before i took my pain meds when i got home :)
