Took an hr after 1.5-hr prep time. Hope Medicare traditional comes thru cost wise. Had to pay facility fee. They walked me into the or, put me on a table, and I was gone. Woke up groggy. They gave me tylenol for pain. I got 8 oxys. I live with an addict, so that's fun. No its stressful af.

Not bad pain yet. 4 small incisions. Still spacy.. rest a few days. My anti-gallbladder-removal sister wants to know what I'll do if this removal does not solve my pain and problems. I don't know i can't even go there now. Ignore them or kill myself.

I mean i hope so cause i just went thru hell and expense and something could still be wrong.

Dr seemed blase about diet. I said low-fat, and he said eat what you want I'm drinking lots of water. Really wanna avoid taking opioids. Pray this is the solution. I really don't know. I've been told 3 months by my sister it was trapped gas n just walk it off. I felt gaslighted.

That's where I'm at, me, on Earth, in thr universe... spinning around
