Firstly let me apologise as I'm typing this on my phone in hospital so might not make much sense!
I was rushed to hospital yesterday with severe abdominal pains, which blood tests showed to be acute pancreatitis, a scan today has shown I have gallstones, which the consultant tells me is the cause of the pancreatitis.
They have said I will have to have gallbladder removed sooner rather than later to prevent future flare-ups of the pancreatitis but have to have an MRI scan first, I think this is to check something about my liver but not entirely sure.
Just wanted to hear from anyone who has been through the same, what was recovery time like after surgery etc? A friend mentioned I may have to avoid certain foods once gallbladder is removed, is this true?
Am feeling very anxious to get home to DS1 (13wks) as have never left him before and am missing him like mad.
