Typical wait for removal of gallbladder?

Posted , 6 users are following.

Hi people - I had the joy of discovering my gallbladder is half full of small stones via ultrasound yesterday and was wondering if any one else has had the same and the surgery? Would like to get an idea on waiting time, time in hospital and recovery time if possible. Many thanks, lisa

    I'm having the same probs.

    I went to A&E after an attack which went on and off for two days, the pain and vomiting was awful!. 😢😢

    ultrasound showed Gallstones, thickened wall, sludge and Gallbladder that is very distented.

    I have had Mrcp scan then the consultant wanted MRI which I had last week, apparently he wanted to look at my liver, I see him for the first time in clinic on the 1st September.

    I just want to know what's happening and get the blasted thing Out.

    This has been going on since Feb I have had 18 attacks in all 6 went on all night the rest anything up to 3/4 hours, so I know how rotten you all feel.
