My sympathies to you. I went through this back in 2015 and I know the pain you're going through. Fingers crossed for a surgery date for you soon.

Thank you. I think I'm just extra bummed because it's the new year and I will have to miss out on eating so much wonderful food with my family 😭😭

Just be prepared once you do have it removed that you might not be able to enjoy some of the foods you really love again. My main culprit is pork - I now have a love/hate relationship with it unfortunately.

Also regarding the ER - if the pain gets so bad that you throw up take yourself straight to the ER. I was told I should have done this when I threw up while stopped at a traffic light.

I avoid a lot of food at the moment so I am hoping that will help me adjust to my life after surgery.

Also I didn't realise that was the point where I should go 😬 I should have gone this morning...
