Got my surgery date it is may 3rd. Just thought i would let everyone know. The nice thing is the surgeon is a Diver also and knows about the implications of surgery and diving.

Ya but the nice thing is, I am an Adult student getting another degree and we only have two and a half weeks left and i dont want to miss now with finals the last week of april. Otherwise i have to put off graduation one more semester and i am done at the end of summer. And it gives me enough recovery time for bonaire.

Great. As fast as my grandson healed, I suspect you will, too. 
Best wishes for your surgery. Really, gall bladder removal nowadays is not an awful thing.
Good luck on the surgery. I saw the surgeon on Monday and with the results of the pipida test (is that one nucelar, 'cause I had a nuclear), my gallbladder is working fine and there is no thickening of the wall. I can delay surgury as long as I do not have any symptoms!! Whoo Hooo!
I am trying to figure out if I did anything radical enough to change the progronsis other than pray.. Besides cutting out meat for 40 days, and already having a pretty healthy diet, I am taking something called EDTA that a friend suggested for unrelated reasons. I am wondering if that has something to do with it. I don't know, however I am happy I can put off the surgury.:fruit:
