In the hospital. Updated: surgery today

So I'm in the hospital. They're not sure what's wrong, other than I have a couple gallstones and my white blood count is high. I thought I was having a gall bladder attack, so I came in.

I really miss DS :[ he's with my parents tonight and i want to snuggle him! Tomorrow the dr decides if I need surgery or not, and if I need to stay tomorrow or not.

Anita, I know you had your gall bladder out. Did anyone else? Any suggestions? I'm hating this!

Update: surgery is happening this afternoon. I wasn't given any restrictions as far as lifting DS afterwards, so hopefully I am able to snuggle him tomorrow when I go home!

    Eat low fat foods. Sadly I only ate broth, apple juice and graham crackers from when Jack was born until I had my gallbladder removed about 3 weeks after he was born.

    Accept help. Picking your LO up will be hard or impossible at first. Sleep in a chair the first few nights, the gas from the laporacscopic procedure hurts likehell. Ask for BFing safe meds if you are BFing. But take your meds! It's easier to stay on top of the pain instead of chasing it.

    After about 10 days I could pick Jack up with tolerable pain. 3 weeks until pain went away completely.

    Jack was a big baby and my epis didn't really work. I pushed for 3 hours. But recovery from childbirth was easy for me. Gallbladder surgery was harder for me to recover from :[

    GL!!


    This makes me nervous :/. I had a c section and thought it wasn't too bad to recover from.

    I just hate feeling this terrible, and not being able to take care of DS. I'm not BFing, so at least I don't have to worry about him taking a bottle or pumping.

    I would have to agree with Anita on everything except recovery seemed to be much easier for me. After about 3 days I wasn't taking any pain meds and was up and moving around, it was hard to bend move around quickly but within about 10 days I was fully recovered. With my second child I had a csection and although I had a fairly easy recovery with this I would say the recovery from having my gall bladder removed was 10x easier! Probably because the incisions from my gall bladder surgery were tiny compared to my csection scar.

    Good luck and I hope everything goes well!

  • I had mine out on 11/16. As a pp said, the gas from the procedure will cause some discomfort. I could feel it up into my shoulders, and it was definitely uncomfortable to lay down, so I slept propped up on pillows until I was almost sitting up for the first night. I was too sore to pick up my LO for about the first 4 days, but this was mainly due to the pain around the incisions themselves (they were small, but tender!) I was really nervous for this procedure for some reason, but it turned out to be quite easy, and I am so glad that I had it done. I took my pain meds for the first 2 days, and didn't feel as if I needed them after that. GL and feel better!

  • Good luck. I hope everything gets figured out soon.

  • Thanks everyone. I'm still waiting to talk to the surgeon, but there's a possibility I can go home and schedule the surgery as an outpatient procedure. It depends on what the surgeon thinks whether I need it out today.

    I'm in the new hospital in my area, and it is GORGEOUS. The TV and internet is free, unlike the hospital I had DS at. I missed being able to deliver here by 9 days, but I will definitely be looking here for next time!

    As far as ER experiences go, it was the most pleasant I have ever had, so at least I'm comfortable with where I'm at.

    I will update this when I have more info!
