Ah well, out with the gall bladder it is!

[tiger31]

Just started the visa process then got results of ma liver scan. Gallstones! Gall bladder got to come out :yikes:! So now I don,t know what to do about visa because I don,t know how long it will be before I get op.

I had my gallbladder removed last November. I had the conversion and referral from the consultant on June prior to that. So it took me 5 months waiting. Although getting/waiting an appointment to the consultant took around the same time as well. But we live in North Wales. It might be different in your location.

My Father had his removed last year too, but he is 80 and had an infection. He was done the next day almost, so probably depends on your local waiting list or how urgent. All done through keyhole, so not as invasive or traumatic, although my Dad didn't go fishing or shooting for a week or so after.

Yeah, I hope not

Just ask your consultant and GP about how long is the usual waiting time for a gallbladder operation. I asked my GP and he told me that if it's not really urgent, it would usually take 6 months waiting time.

Oh dear, sorry to hear that I do hope that you are not in too much pain, Tiger. Looks like you AND the house will be having an overhaul !

Fingers crossed that you won't have to wait too long, in the meantime, take good care of yourself :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Yep, you'll be fine! My sister-in-law had her gall bladder removed shortly after giving birth to her third child in 1974 at the age of 25 ... she's not had any related health problems since and is now 65! :xxgrinning--00xx3:
