Hi everyone
I wondered if I could get some advice and reassurance here as I only know one person that has had there gallbladder remove but that was years ago way before keyhole Surgery and can’t offer me any advice on it.
I’m due to have my gallbladder removed next Monday (4th Nov which is also the day after my 30th birthday what a great present so no birthday cake or wine for me) and to put it lightly I’m bricking it and I don’t know why. I’v had operations before as a child but they were small minor operations. I’m worried about complications and they said it will be keyhole and I will be out the same day but I’m worried it will turn in to open surgery and I’ll have to stay in for a week or they will keep me in which gives me anxiety badly due to having a panic attack while having my first ever stay in hospital when I had a stone stuck back in June I was in for 6 days and I couldn’t cope mentally with that. I really want it to be done and be over with now so I can go back to living a normal life.
If anyone has any stories from there experience be good or bad please share thank you for the help
