How have those waiting for surgery coped with festivities?
Posted , 5 users are following.
I've been waiting over 2 months for surgery so far and may have a few months wait to go yet. I've had to stick to a below 3% fat diet and I've found it really tough. The only thing that's kept me going is the fear that if I do indulge, I could be in a lot of pain and back in hospital. I admit that I've still found it very difficult over Christmas. There is food everywhere! I normally splash on good food, treats and the odd takeaway but not this year. What about everyone else? How have you managed? Have you managed?

To be honest I felt so grotty I didn't really feel like eating anyway.
Had my gallbladder removed in April 2015 due to gallstones.
I am a lot better than I was but still have stomach ache and pain in right side and back passage sometines. Recently been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia and I think I may have IBS as well. But could be a lot worse.
If you are willing to have the operation at short notice if someone else cancels it may be worthing mentioning that. That is how I got mine done. I was only diagnosed with gallstones at just before Christmas last year so I waited 4 months. The waiting list here in Wales is 8 - 9 months.
Hope this helps
Take care and keep in touch
