Another Surgery for my Pops...

Nyck · **Another Surgery for my Pops... -** 07-13-2005, 05:15 PM

Hes been having chest pains and arm going numb and shortness of breath, kinda worried about his heart so they took him into the hospital last night and ran a battery of stress tests today and ruled out any heart problems and found it to be his Gallbladder, I talked with my mom a couple hours ago and they were sending a surgical team to check him out to determine if the surgery needs to be done tonight, or if it can wait.

This is like his 47846847 surgery..the man is only 46 yrs old and hes had 6 back surgeries(car accident) had a knee replaced, had a experimental surgery done where they put in electrodes to shock his spine when ever he activated it by putting a huge magnet to his side(like a internal massage chair..lol) that was then removed cause it didnt work....He had his appendix removed and now this

...frickin Lee Majors got nothing on this guy, hes got more scars than frankenstein.

Im just glad its not his heart and I think this will make him start eating healthier and lose those lbs...hes moving close to 300!

Anyone had any relatives go under for gallbladder removal?

Yea from what I read up on it(aka googled) its fairly common and it just holds your bile and shiz...so it looks like he will be making the poopies more often.

my dad had it about 5 years ago. they make 3 tiny incisions in your stomach and use microscopic tools to remove it. all they do is remove the gallbladder and re-route the bile to go directly in your stomach, so there are no after effects from it. Fairly simple procedure, nothing really to worry about.

He will be sore for a couple days, won't be able to walk much, and he better hope he doesnt have to sneeze or get a caughing attack.

GL to him though, hope everything goes good.

GL to your dad, Nyck - Hope all goes well....I dunno what I'd do if I lost my dad at the moment...
