I had right eye cataract surgery 5 days ago.   Left eye scheduled 3.5 weeks.   Prior to the cataract surgery, it was recommended by another surgeon I have gallbladder surgery.  He indicated his office would not schedule until I was released from the eye surgeon.    

I went for my post op cataract follow up the day following surgery.   I mentioned to the doctor I would be having gallbladder removed after being released after the next surgery.   My driver/caregiver ask how long after the next cataract surgery would he estimate would be the amount of time before the cataract to the gallbladder surgery.  The eye doctor said I could have the gallbladder surgery after the last cataract surgery.   Does this sound dangerous to anyone?  Especially since I would still be on eye drops for appx 3 weeks, would have only been checked the day following surgery.   I am terrified of his comment and afraid his approval could cause all kinds of eye problems for me.   Anyone have any input on this matter
