mandy my understanding is that if you have your op sooner rather than later it is because it is being done on a medical need not because you are queue jumping. Any surgeon worth their salt is going to perform one op instead of 2. You have gall stones and i know from personal experiance how painful that is( had minr removed 20 yrs ago) as do others on here who have suffered with them post op. Not only are they painful they can cause jundice if left which in itself is very unpleasent and a medical condition.
Dont feel bad if you get your op sooner rather than later like anything medical some people take priority and in this case you do.
hope you get it done soon so that you can be rid of the pain and discomfort of gallstones and on the road to recovery and loosing

Shrinking away nicely :)
Mandy you have not offended anyone, many of us are in a similar situation and tbh we all want out ops sooner than later and in some cases like urs where medical probs take priority then it does bump u up the list, but that is ur surgeons choice and u have nothing to apologise for.
Some people get their ops quicker than others but no 2 journeys are the same.
Take care hun xx

Why woud you have offended anyone?
Dont apologice for getting your operation.
Just keep staying positive and concentrate on staying happy through your journey.

just worrying cos im hoping to get my date in about a month because of being admitted to hospital twice last wk with my gallstones. mr slaters registrar said to me yesterday that if had had my op it would mean someone elses being cancelled. when actually i was on the emergency list and not the elective list so wasnt the case but by god did he upset me:cry::cry:

well all i can say is i for one am not offended, in fact if you were on the same list as me and i was before you i would gladly cancel my date for you and have a later date as i am not in agony with gall stones like you. it is essential you get it done and anyone will see that surely so stop worrying and look after yourself and concentrate on the new you soon to come xxx

Low fat ,light mushy diet, no alcohol and gaviscon for the sickness. The less work your stomach has to do to break down the food the less call it has for bile so the less work your gall bladder has to do.

Hi I am not offended at all. I had my gallbladder removed about 6 years ago and I was so glad to be rid of it the pain is awful. I was told to avoid anything with high fat content, cucumber(there is something about it that triggers the stones to move), and eggs. Hope you get your date soon.

Can't add anymore than the rest have said you are needing surgery earlier for a very valid medical reason and i'm sure no-one on here would have a problem with that so please don't worry x

A loser at last!
Oh Mandy love, look at you - worrying again! Everyone here is rooting for you and wants you to be pain-free as soon as poss - and if that means you getting your bypass quickly, well, that's a bonus! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and hope you are 'done' soon. Lots of love, Mxx

mandy hope this example helps ( it is a true story)
I was at the hospital with my sister for an outpatient appointment with the nurologist. We had been there about an hour with about 3 paitents in front of us who were all complaining that the clinic was running late. My sisters condition has deteriorated somewhat over the past months and she really needed this appointment to try and get to the bottom of what was going on.
The booking clerk suddenly appeared in the waiting room and announced that unfortunatly the clinic was being cancelled as the nurologist was in theater with a critically ill patient.
You should of heard the uproar with comments like "ive taken the day off work for this" "thats not on whats he doing in theater when he has a clinic" "thats the NHS for you" My sister who unlike me is usually meak and mild piped up "For god sake you people that could be one of us that he is operating on with your loved ones in the waiting room waiting to hear its been sucessfull. She then turned to the man who had complained about taking a day off work and said i would love to be able to work to take a day off and thank god for the NHS i wouldnt like to be without them.
I was so proud of her and so was the nurologist 2 days later he phoned her and did a telephone consultation with her and arranged for her to go in as an inpatient to get the much needed teats done to find out what was going on for her.

Ask for Pethidine for the pain. I got it - not only effective but fun too! Seriously - the pain of GS is enough to warrant it x

Mandy the peeps here understand the situation. The surgeon would'nt let you jump the queue anyway. He's there to operate on those needing the treatment there and then so no I don't think you've offended anybodyxx
