I had right eye cataract surgery 5 days ago. Left eye scheduled 3.5 weeks. Prior to the cataract surgery, it was recommended by another surgeon I have gallbladder surgery. He indicated his office would not schedule until I was released from the eye surgeon.
I went for my post op cataract follow up the day following surgery. I mentioned to the doctor I would be having gallbladder removed after being released after the next surgery. My driver/caregiver ask how long after the next cataract surgery would he estimate would be the amount of time before the cataract to the gallbladder surgery. The eye doctor said I could have the gallbladder surgery after the last cataract surgery. Does this sound dangerous to anyone? Especially since I would still be on eye drops for appx 3 weeks, would have only been checked the day following surgery. I am terrified of his comment and afraid his approval could cause all kinds of eye problems for me. Anyone have any input on this matter
