Hi does anyone know how long you have to wait to have an operation for gallbladder removal, mine started again this year in mid May and after waits of 3 to 4 weeks for tests and different hospital doctors I have yet to see the surgeon in another 2 and a half weeks time, don't know how long I have to wait after this before I get a date for the surgery, I am bothered in the meantime that another stone will get stuck in bile duck or something worse, I'm with Chesterfield Royal Hospital

your surgeon will tell you his health authorities guide lines as to how long . My health authority Cornwall was 17 weeks . But I waited 2 weeks and got a cancellation. I am a full time Carer and I explained that I am not sure but I think that may have given me priority.
If you have another attack you must ring an ambulance your notes are all set up for an operation and they will no doubt slot you in as an emergency .
once you see your surgeon you are on the right track ..
See if you can google chesterfield Royal hospitals or your health authorities guidelines for waiting lists for ops ...
Hope that helps

I hope that you don't have to wait too long for your surgery but it does seem to depend on your health area and your individual needs.
I hope you dont have to wait too long to get rid of the awful pain that gallstones brings.
5 months on I still have pains and am about to have a camera put down to see whats going on now!!
All the best and I hope you don't have to wait too long.
