Depressed after GB Surgery - Thank You for Your Support

[Guest guest]

Dear Dave, , Vince, n and all of the kind and caring

people in this group...

Thank you so very much for taking the time to respond to my post.

You have no idea how much better I felt after reading your kind

thoughts and words of wisdom. You really are a special group of

people and I truly appreciate your being there.

I usually don't talk to people about my depression over the gall

bladder surgery. When I did a few times, the response was usually

something like, " What's the big deal, you don't need your gall

bladder " or " Please, it's ONLY a gall bladder " . (I have even heard

this from doctors!) They don't understand how sick I have been and

it's not worth talking to people unless they get it. Otherwise,

they just say things that make me feel worse. That is why I very

much appreciate all of you. It was so nice of you to write and your

understanding means the world to me. I also have a great respect

for your knowledge. You really know so much... even more than some

doctors... and you understand the function of the gall bladder and

what it could mean to be without it.

Thank you again for reaching out to me... for not judging me... and

for making me feel 1000 times better. I was really down the day I

posted... and I am grateful to you for lifting my spirits at a time

of need. May God bless you all and may you have happiness and

health always. (And may your gall stones disappear forever!!!)

All the best,

Randi
