gallstones..how long to wait for surgery?
I don't post on here often, but enjoy reading and learning from all of you!! But I'm a little stressed out and need some support!!
I had Lap RNY on 6/9/06. I developed pain in the middle of my back and on my right side within about the last 1-2 weeks. Long story short, I went and had an ultrasound and sure enough, I have a large gallstone and a "small" gallbladder. I am not in alot of pain ( pains off and on that tylenol helps with) so I am relieved about that. However, I leave in one week to go on a 2 week cruise vacation. I was just wondering how long people waited between finding out they had gallbladder stones and having the surgery. I am not scheduled to see my surgeon until the day after I return from vacation, so I plan to take my ultrasound report with me and I'm sure gallbladder surgery will be in my future!! Also, I had my 6 month bloodwork completed and it was all completely normal except for an elevated bilirubin. Any input appreciated!!!
