Heading back to surgery AGAIN!
Sheesh...seems like I'm on a roll here folks. Second surgery in the past 5 weeks. I'm hoping this will be the last one for a really long time!
Many of you know that I've been having a lot of abdominal pain for the past 3 weeks (I blame my TT daughter, jerseygrr! :P) and after a scope, ER visit and CT Scan it was found that I had some minor gastritis, an ulcer and a bad gallbladder. 
I had an appointment with my bariatric surgeon this morning and that inflamed sucker is coming out Monday afternoon. I'm so ready to be over this pain!
I'm totally thrilled that my bariatric surgeon will be doing the surgery. Even though this doesn't really fall under bariatrics he explained to me that he likes to get in there himself so he can get a good look around. He wants to make sure we aren't missing something like an internal hernia. I know I couldn't be in better hands....despite the pain and the surgery...this is really the best case scenario possible.
I'll have my friend Luna post after I get out on Monday. It won't be until later in the day and he is unsure if I will have to spend the night or not. It just depends on the time of day and how I am doing.
Keep me in your thoughts and prayers, please? I'm still in pain but at least there is an end in sight.
