I'm new here but have read posts for a long time. I'm scheduled to have my gallbladder removed on Thursday, May 4th, and I am so darn scared. And typical, I am not even remotely afraid of the pain, just sickness. Has anyone had their gallbladder removed and how was it? The ironic thing though is that if I don't have it removed, I am certain at some point I will v*, because over the past year I have come so far as to swallow it down as it came up. (sorry) I've been in so much pain and soooo sick for so long. I mean, its time, but I really get so freaked out that I want to cancel. My hubby is wonderful, but I was talking to him the other day about v* and how he feels about it, and he feels like its just a natural part of the human body, and no big deal. He doesn't even mind it. I wish I could be like that. So, any encouragement would be so great. Thank you! Janna
