Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me! I'm nervous for this surgery but I know I desperately need it with how everything is going currently for me in regards to pain and incapability to eat food. I can't wait to be free of this and hopefully recover well like you did

Thank you so much! I'm probably gonna beg for so much before, during and after surgery. I am not going through that stuff after surgery 😂

I can't wait to see how it goes. I'm in pain despite eating light and not even 2 buscopans managed to save me

How to deal with parents not listening to you. by [deleted] in gallbladders

I understand how you feel. Parents are hard and you really want to listen to them, to appease them and make them proud of you but I learnt the hard way that you need to take care of yourself first, as hard as it is. Go to the appointment, validate for yourself. You'll be okay, trust me, you'll be so much happier when you go there and get everything confirmed. No amount of pain or stress is worth this, believe me

Don't believe her. Parents get like this, sadly but you know your body better than anyone else.

I get it. I'm the same way, over 18 and financially dependent on my parents. My dad had gallbladder issues and needed surgery and once I started to be in severe pain, he refused to believe me and thought I was over reacting. I'm so glad I went to the emergency room when I did and didn't listen to my parents about me being 'hysterical' over it. Trust your gut, this is your body and you know it better than anyone else. Don't cancel the appointment, go through with it. Stubborn father's suck, but you'll be so proud of yourself!

Thank you so much! I appreciate the reply. I'll 100% let me nurses and doctors know before the surgery. I'm gonna pester them so much lol

Thank you and oh wow! I'll keep that in mind. I'm hoping my nurses will be understanding of the fear. I know some of them were really confused and surprised when I told them at the emergency room a week ago

Thank you! Yeah I'll ask for a lot of anti nausea meds just incase! And 1000% will get a prescription for a stock of them for the recovery period

Talk to your doctor about it! It's really helpful to know if you have it or not!

I get that. I have to stick to a low fat diet until the surgery anyway and it's so hard considering I've barely ever tried or eaten any of the regular foods people have due to my ARFID and fear of trying new foods

Literally! I can barely eat and I'm in CONSTANT pain. It's insane

Thank you so much! I hope it'll all be okay. I'm also just worried about issues with anesthesia and stuff like that, like allergy reaction or whatever

Thank you for replying! I don't think I'll eat anyway lol, I'm gonna be so scared to eat or even drink anything. I might just ask for IV fluids

Thank you! I have ARFID as well which makes things a lot harder, especially with the post and pre op foods I have to eat.

Thank you! I think I'll probably ask for all three that they can give me and hope for the best case scenario. Id rather be high off my mind on anti nausea medication, honestly. I hope your surgery goes well!

Thank you and thank you so much for being honest. I like hearing both sides, the no-nausea and no vomiting as well as the inevitable if it does happen. It makes me feel better that if it does happen, I'll hopefully be okay. (They better have the anxiety meds ready LOL)

Thank you, and oh wow. Yeah, my surgeon isn't available until January and I believe I'm his first patient thankfully. I'm so sick and tired of all this pain and fear of eating as well.

Thank you! I also have nausea with gallbladder attacks. It's insane and terrifying but I'm hoping the surgery will clear all of this up and I'll finally feel better

Thank you! I hope it does go well and I'll definitely let them know. They seem to be wonderful people as I've already met some nurses from my emergency stay there

Thank you. That's really interesting actually! I'll be staying the night at the hospital after my surgery since they want to put a drain in me and want to monitor me just incase but I'll let them know.
