how long did you wait for surgery?
I am in the midwestern US.
I feel extremely confident I have gallbladder issues after months of trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I have an appointment with my primary care doctor tomorrow, but I'm so scared she's just gonna send me to a specialist, who is then gonna send me to a surgeon...then book me out for 4 months. i had to wait 3 weeks to even see my pcp.
i'm just panicking a little bit. if I'm right that it's my gallbladder, I want it out. i don't want to be sitting around waiting for 6 months or for it to become an emergency. my mental health is in the toilet and I do not want to continue suffering.
how long did it take from your initial diagnose to get surgery? will they schedule me sooner/later dependent on how bad my symptoms are?
