Sigh... Back at Jefferson Hospital...

Jason,

If it weren't for him that tumor would have continued to grow. Give it a nice burial.

it is good that you will soon be rid of the pain; may your surgery go well and may you have an uneventful recovery

Jason, so sorry for this new

Jason, so sorry for this new thing. Here's to successful surgery and speedy recovery .  Forough

Good luck with surgery. But you should be thankfull for these attacks for finding cancer, so "be noble and let the gall bladder go" :-)

my fiance's tumor was discovered due to hep C. he intends to treat it now, and we joke if this is a "noble thing to do" - to get rid of ir after it kinda saved his life :-)

Good luck, Jason! I think

Good luck, Jason! I think compared to your kidney surgery this will be much easier. And as everyone said, at least you're rid of future attacks.

Best get rid of the bits that dont work!

Hope everything went and is going well.  If it is any consolation, you are probably not missing the miserable weather around Philly today.

Thank heaven...

or take the "n" off and you have heave.  That ugly little green glob of bile storage is what prompted me to call my PC's attention to another little problem I was experiencing nearly 9 years ago.  I was having periodic bouts of nausea/vomiting every couple of months and thought maybe I had a gall stone.  And that was how the US found a mass in the kidney and the liver.  And while they were doing surgery, also found there was a defect in the bile duct, so also removed the gall bladder.

Jason, the lap surgery shouldn't be that difficult.  But do remember that digestion may be a little bit slower.  I suggest eating smaller amounts more slowly to see how things process.  Your liver will now have to produce "on demand"and it can get a bit over-zealous and dump too much at once.

You should do well, and try to enjoy having your feet up for 24 hours.  Hah!  The'll have you up and walking in no time.  Good Luck.

Go get'em Jason. Nothing to it.

Good luck with your surgery, I am assuming you are at Jefferson hospital in Philadelphia.  I was in Jefferson for IL-2  last May - my only complaint was the hospital food was absolutory horrible! I had no problem eating any of the food from the Philadelphia Reading Terminal or any of the local restaurants. So if your doctors let you I suggest you order take out - often!  - BDS

Thanks and still waiting

Surgery was supposed to happen yesterday but the surgical team had a couple of tough cases that kept the schedule out of whack...  So I am still waiting for the call but it should definitely happen today.

Thanks for all the well wishes!

 

All the best with the surgery Jason, I hope you don't have to wait much longer. I had mine removed in 2005 it took a little while for my body to adjust. I have no problems as long as I don't eat too much fat which is no bad thing.
