my very best to you and hoping for a very speedy recovery.

I am sorry you are going through this, do what you can to check out the doctor and facilities. Best wishes. I hope you tell your parents that you are having surgery.

I had my gall bladder out, and felt like a new person afterwards. I hope they do the laparoscopy (3 small incisions) on you, though, because the recovery period is much shorter. But, if they don't, rest assured that it had been done that way for decades, and it is a straightforward procedure. It's just that you will probably endure more pain afterwards until the scar heals.... I think weeks rather than days. I'm not saying this to scare you, rather to help you mentally prepare. It sounds like you have a very supportive husband, and that will help you a lot. Try not to worry because it will only make it harder. Surgery sounds scary (and I was really scared the first time), but truly it is quite routine - even in Mexico - and you will be fine. I will pray for your speedy recovery! All the best.

JS,

Everything will work out for the best! Remember you are in Vallarta a town where many people know minimal English so you will be okay! You have your husband there so he will be by your side!! Good Luck and praying for you!

Thank you all for the prayers but it looks like we have to put things on hold

We got up really early this morning then sat at the hospital for hours just to have the doctor tell us they don't do surgeries at this hospital, that we have to go to another town, needless to say i was irritated we were going to have to go wait in line at another one then he informs us that they give out passes at this hospital to go to the other, good news no long waiting, but of course life is never that easy so he then proceeds to say they don't give out the passes or do the surgery unless i am in extreme pain, which i was not this morning. So now we have to wait until it is hurting again

. I am getting so frustrated i just want this over with, i finally decide i will go ahead and have it done here just to wait for hours and be told sorry you need to be practically dyeing before we will see you WTH! I am pretty frustrated right now and have no idea what i am going to do, i guess we will wait till it hurts. I am going to have my mom call my doc. at home and talk to him about how serious it all is and if he thinks i need it right away because if so then i will do my best to pretend like i am in extreme pain even though i am not a great actress or lier i will do my best if i have to.

It is a pretty straight forward surgery, I infact had mine taken out last year after enduring the most gosh awful pain in the world and it just comes all of a sudden, I was standing there washing dishes and then WHAM SEVERE pain. You will feel much better. They made the incisions right under my lap band incisions not painful at all or at least not very painful you can do it! GOODLUCK!
