I had TAH,BSo,appendectomy 5/26/99.Since surgery I have had lumpy
feeling under right rib,real bloated,constipated and you know all the
feelings.According to Dr, who did surgery no Endo,just adhesions on
female parts and appendix from C-section,tubal ligation 22 years ago.I
am scheduled for a Lap on 4/7 with 2 Drs.who are in Atlanta.First I will
have an ENdoscope,possible gallbladder removal as the lst Dr.said my
gallbladder is borderline functioning(38 on scan)Then if lots of
adhesions 2nd Dr, will step in and do his parts.Both of these DRS, are
expert in their field and neither one does Laparatomies.THis is my
dilemma.My Internist told me I was crazy,that I would be worse after the
surgery.Both at having gallbladder out and adhesions removed.Now do I
want to sit here and wait for a gallbladder attack and have to have
surgery just anywhere or a bowel obstruction and have to be cut wide
open.Why would my Internist not know that this might happen?He said 38
on a Hiata scan was functioning.WHo out there has had trouble after
having gallbladder removed Lap?I don't think I have ever heard anybody
having that much trouble after having a gallbladder out.As for the
adhesions I know more will form but this Dr, is an Endo specialist and
an expert in his field.How does my Internist know I want be better?He
only offered me RX for acid refux which I think is the last thing I
could have.Some indigestion but not when I lay down and I hardly ever
burb.Please someone out there give me some suggestions.Thanks.Susan
