I know some people on this board has gone through this, and if anyone wants to share their expierence or any other info on it I would really appreciate it! I had my first attack last summer, and went to the ER the next day. They didn't find any stones and sent me home. The other night I got another attack, and went straight to the ER. This time they found several stones, and my gallbladder mildly inflammed. I saw the surgeon yesterday, and he told me how they do it. I'm having the Larpo way done, with just the small cuts made. I'm also doing it as an outpatient, so I should be able to go home the same day. This is my first actual operation. So it has me pretty scared. The surgeon made it out to be no real big deal. But I've been reading some of the complications and I don't know how rare they actually are. The surgeon said it's all possible that a bad gallbladder has been causing my IBS the past 3 years. But like so many, once it comes out you may get D anyway. So can't win there. Please help, I'm just freaking out over this whole thing.
