Atlanta area - surgeon for gall bladder removal
Posted: 2023-11-28 19:22:46
Hi
I had my ileostomy in 2015 as part of two step surgery but I never went back to get the j-pouch reconnected to my stoma /pouch as it took 6+ months for my incision to heal. Dr mentioned due to malnutrition it happened. Now I am having issues with the gall bladder ( feeling pain or discomfort after meals or late night after meals ) and after CT Scan and ultrasound - it showed gall stones.
My primary care suggested to visit general surgeon but not very promising with the few surgeons that I met. If you can offer any advice about who might have done this - very helpful
