just had surgery yesterday.they took it out my belly button.man is it sore today.anyone ever had it done?how long before you can function normal again?wanted to race tomorrow but that's out.ouch!!
Give it a few days. Thankfully you did have the major gal-bladder surgery. Did you get a new diet recomendation? Sean
I had mine out in 1998 on a thursday, spent one night in hospital. I decided I was going out dancing on Saturday night. I made it about 3 of the 12 miles to the club I was heading and I was sore just driving in a 96 dodge 1500 on the streets. I turned around. Next weekend, I was out there tho. Give it a couple days, you do not want to be racing this weekend, save it for next weekend. You may not even want to be passenger on a drive to the track this weekend. Take it easy this weekend, back to 100% by next weekend. Watch out if you eat a greasy or fat meal. Prime rib, fries, pretty much any fast food, even a cheesey italian meal can give you the "I gotta get to a bathroom NOW" feeling. That improves over time as your body adjusts, but you will always have a reaction to the intake of fat. All being said, that gall bladder pain is intense, you will be glad it is out now.
Dan I just had mine out about 2 months ago. Incision still healing from drain tube. But all in all was doing fine in a week. Biggest thing you want to do is get off the pain meds. Just watch out for the gas.
Hey Dan, just read this. Give it a little while to heal....your car and the race track will still be there when you return!! Take care!! Steve
