Back to life again


My Gall Bladder was operated, as scheduled, on 15th Dec 2010 (Laparoscopic  Cholecystectomy) at Genesis Hospital by surgeon Dr. Purnendu Roy and on 17th morning I was discharged from Hospital. I was advised rest for some days with no restriction except weight lifting. The day I was discharged (after t48 Hrs. of  operation) the 4 holes on the belly was dried up externally and some pain killers, antacid etc were prescribed for 5 days and there was no antibiotic in that. 

The operation hardly took 15-20 minutes. Before operation, many thoughts were going on inside me, but when I was waken up from anesthesia and said wake up, wake up, operation is over. It was unbelievable to me  as I did not feel anything and I thanked God for going everything  smoothly. So I am back to life without any pain and the disease has been removed from my body. I am free of the problem that too without any pain. What a wonderful experience. I thanked God once again and gone to sleep again.

When I was told "operation is over" , it was unbelievable for me because  in the past, I  have seen complicated cases.  I have seen how this simple operation turned to a complicated one for  one of my colleagues and the patient was required to be transferred to  Apollo Hospital  and  resulted a total bill in lakhs, from a package of Rs. 10-12K, four to five years ago. 


I will try to post my experiences on the "Life without Gall Bladder"  in day to day life, based on my experiences. So it will take  some time for gathering the same. I don't think there will be anything major experiences because 10 days over and so far I am leading absolutely normal life. I am taking normal food like dal, rice, bread, vegetable, fish, etc. Of course spicy food I am  avoiding .After 11 days, today (27th Dec 2010) I have resumed my office. Of course  not traveling by public transport, but by my own car with a hired driver. Though I am driving in Salt Lake areas where traffic are smooth and less congested but still I am avoiding driving in city.
