Feeling nervous

just wondering if anyone is overweight and had their gallbladder removed?
anyone over 18 stone?
i have my pre op tomorrow and im scared they will turn me away :frowning:

Hi Heather I’m 21st and had my gallbladder removed just over 3 weeks ago. They were able to do keyhole surgery aswell rather than open surgery so I’m sure it won’t be a problem.

Hi Heather, no they will not turn you away! I too am 18 st ..my pre op is 26 th.. you will be fine honey xx I’ve had two pre ops in past 4 months..ops were postponed twice..U will sail through xx :upside_down_face:

aww really? good im glad im just scared they would of! thank you for replying x

thank you so much xx

Hi everyone!! I’m so glad that you have wonderful surgeons who don’t discriminate against you for carrying a bit of weight. Myself on the other hand have came away from consultations feeling so deflated and hurt by comments made. I have struggled with gallbladder attacks for the past 4yrs. I have had scans, mrcp, gallbladder infections twice and admissions to A&E. I even had my pre op last September and still nothing. I have one large stone. Yes I did carry a bit of weight almost 18 stone. I lost 3 stone which still wasn’t enough! It has caused me extreme anxiety and constantly beating myself up over weight every time I gain a pound or two! I have my husband and daughter demented running myself down x

Best wishes for your pre op tomorrow girl! Let’s keep our fingers crossed that you are treated quickly! :heart:

Good luck for tomorrow Heather, keep us posted! All will be fine :two_hearts: We are strong!!

Apologies for hijacking your post earlier with my tales of woe. I’m just glad you are getting sorted from this misery xx
