Fast surgery or what?

[Duffey]

Today our former daughter in law had her gallbladder removed-- 8:30 am. She was discharged at 11:10 am.
Is that a record or what?

My stars....was that the Drive Thru version?.....Hope she is doing well.

I can't think that's so wonderful. While procedures have been improved through the years, patients should be watched after having an organ removed for at least a minimum number of hours. IMO......... Did she have general anesthesia?

Hope she does fine.

Whoa.........did she "supersize" that??

That how mine was I thought they booted me out way too early, I had trouble even walking to the car

 

[Duffey]

Yes, they used a general.
I think the surgeon and hospital are crazy.
If she develops complications, she'll sue.
And it will be even faster than her surgery.:wink2:

With any anesthetic at all, I get dizzy and prone to fainting, but it comes on immediately when I try to stand up.

Well, I'm scheduled to have my gallbladder out in the next couple of weeks. Even though that seems really quick, it is encouraging to me. Hope she is fine.

She's doing good. :smile2:I am willing to bet that you will have similar success; maybe a little longer stay . . . . five or six hours . . . .:thumbup:

Back in the mid-seventies I had mine removed, they also took my appendix out due to an unwritten rule back then. I was in the hospital eight full days even though I had absolutely no problem. That was twice as long as my AVR.
About ten years ago our middle daughter needed hers removed(family tradition I guess).
They took her in to surgery at 2:30 and at 5:30 she walked out and we took her home.
I could not beleive it.
But that just shows how far we have come.
