Try not to feel too nervous. I felt exactly the same as you, quite convinced something was going to go wrong during the op. Had my op in June this year and when I was in the anaesthetic room I nearly jumped off the trolley and was very close to tears, then the next thing I knew it was all over, I was in the recovery room. Life has been wonderful since coz I can now eat anything, and I'm totally pain free.
Its normal to feel frightened but just think about the pain you suffer and that it will stop.
Let us know how it goes, and good luck for Wed.

I like others are nervous, and I am worried that even after I have recovered from the op that I still have the same pains, I say this as they have told me that it may not solve all of my symptoms. :cry:

Thanks, just wish the op was after Xmas, but have had symptoms for quite some time and time now for the GB to go.
I am hoping that they X-ray for stones in the bile duct during the procedure.
Worrying about bile consistently flowing into my intestines.

I suppose it can affect people differently.

cat p,
I am a bit worried that you haven't been back to say how it went and how you are doing post op?
