Dirt Chic , you have nothing to worry about.
a girl i use to know had it done. and it was nothing .
thay removed it through her belly button. there was no scare.
and she was about over it in a few days...... :D

I think you and DD can make the march ride.....


Chris.....

Yes, you will be fine. And feel much better when it is gone.

good luck dirtchick..you will be fine..

ive had 19 surgery's..all came out fine..they give you some good happy meds

I am sure everything will go fine. My Mom had her's removed a long time ago. She said she felt so much better after it was removed

Thanks everyone.....I think it's strange that I can't wear my contacts. I wonder why? I told them I can't see my hand in front of me without them...so they have agreed to let me wear them up to the point of the surgery...I just have to remind them that I have them in.

had mine took out several years ago with the lapcroscopic surgery. went smoother than bourbon over ice cubes. You will be allright, just have to cut out the spicy foods for awhile

But Dirt Chic , Just think how much more Hansome DD will
look with out your Contacts in.....

He is a beautiful person inside & out...& has a great heart. Don't even need my contacts to see that.

Sounds like somebody's fishin' for a bigger box of chocolates on the 14th. :kiss ass:

Can't have chocolates....I like Jewelry though. :D

Ok, looks like I've been called to jewelry duty.

Yous guys are crazily. Dirt Chic my better half had hers removed and she said she wished she would have had that thing yanked out before she did. It should turn out the same with you. Keep us updated.

Good Luck today D.C. wife had it done about 10 years ago no problems or issues. tell dawb to let us know how it goes

Chic, you will be fine. Just know you have a bunch of folks pulling for you and putting in a Word for you.

We got back home ~ 3hrs. ago. I doped her up and we both napped 'til just alittle while ago. Of course She's already back to la la land now.
The procedure went off without a hitch, She's just still in a bunch of pain when She moves. We go back tomorrow to get her drain removed and then it's just rest, rest, rest until I hear her start fussing over something... then I'll know She's fully recovered!
We appreciate y'all keeping her in your thoughts!!

Great news DD. Tell her we wish her a speedy recovery.

Glad everything went well DD.
We all wish her well very soon.......

Glad to hear her surgery went well. :D

good luck with everything dirt chic

EDIT: glad to hear it went fine!

How's our Dirt Chic getting along?

Thanks all. I am doing better than yesterday....yesterday was terrible....I stayed around 9 hours before I could leave, because I was in terrible pain. She said I had adhesions..so guess that's why I hurt more than normal. I feel a lot better today & with the help of pain meds. I just feel sore, & experiencing nausea from time to time. I had my drain tube removed today, she told me it would be painful, but I stayed relaxed & turned my mind away from what she was doing & it stung a little, but wasn't bad at all. The doctors, & nurses where great with me...but there was one nurse who came to discharge me who seemed to have an attitude like she didn't want to be there. After 9 hours I was still in pain as she was wheeling me out to meet hubby in the parking lot...& it hurt so bad I couldn't stop crying...& she was like "your still in pain"? almost like she was saying I was making it up...I started to say nah...just crying for the he** of it....anyways....glad to be out of there.

I have been reading up on bile salts that may help me break down fatty foods, & not mess with my stomach....my doctor was no help on that subject...so Researching on my own, & reading reviews from other GB patients.


Edit reason: doped up on meds, & don't know what I am saying, lol.

I knew she was getting better when she fussed at me a little this eve. :D
