Any Special Recommendations for Upcoming Gallbladder Surgery?
After 5 years of gut pain/issues - having tried everything imaginable to alleviate from diet to exercise to alternative medicine to ....you name it - I have finally decided to go with my GP & surgeon's recommendations to remove my gallbladder.
Is there anything specific I should do or tell them about my bronchiectasis/MAC? It will be a laparoscopic procedure, relatively quick, and I go home same afternoon. He will not do the procedure without general anesthesia because of the CO2 they pump into your belly, but says he will use an IV only sedation (rather than inhaled), which is supposed to be easier on you overall.
Thank you for an insights or advice anyone might share!

Typos are revealing, but like tea leaves one must know how to read ‘em. Yukyuk.
Can't see why there would be a problem. I have had my gallblader removed and the lung issues that I have, were never discussed before the surgery.
Two different problems.
Shooei , sorry I just saw this post because my husband had his gallbladder removed laparoscopy and he did great,except sometimes he eats much too spicy foods now.We also spoke awhile back about bleeds from Mac and Bronchiectasis. Mine stopped since I am only doing airway clearance now.But just got one today(tiny).I started 7% a few days ago.any ideas?
Hi Ritapearl, just wanted to add that the same thing happened to me about bleeding. Im on the 7% sodium solution and things seem to go along fine, then out of nowheres Ill bleed, usually for a day, then it tapers of and Ill go back to regular mucus, sometime slightly pinkish which probably means blood but what does cause this? My Dr says if it isn't cupfuls, it should be ok, that the vessel probably get agitated at times and will bleed. Thanks for bring up the question. Hal
Egads Tina, I think you’re a victim of Gastrogall. Don
