Still waiting for surgery on my gallbladder

Posted By Panchor2

"Still waiting for surgery on my gallbladder"

About: Leicester Royal Infirmary / Gastroenterology

(as the patient),

I had appalling treatment on Ward 42/43.Overdue procedure causing organ swelling/pain/jaundice and rapidly affecting liver further.

I have experienced a nightmare illness left to suffer with, in the hands of LRI.   With 3 admissions on above ward, I am no further forward with my re-occurring symptoms. 

Suffering from Chronic Autoimmune Hepatitis with PSC. It was known to the LRI I had multiple gallstones within my gall bladder and was advised by a member of the gastro team I needed my gallbladder removed as this would cause blockages with my bile ducts. 

Advised a wait of 2 months to have surgery on my first admission which was end of Aug 18 I am still awaiting for a single piece of communication from the surgical team 3 and half months on. 

I have re-occuring swelling of my gall bladder, loss of appetite, severe pain, and rapidly increasing my liver damage living with PSC.
