Breastfeeding And Surgery? Posted: 02-02-07 07:05am
So I brought my paperwork from the er to
the dr today at the clinic, and went over
it, basically I will have to have my
gallbladder removed eventually but he sait
it was up to meand wuold be better to wait
since im breastfeeding and jordynnes so
little. Does breastfeeind have anything
to do with having surgery , it will be
laproscopic and prob same day thing I
think. But id rather have it done sooner
then later if at all possible. I
supplement with formula if ihave to. I
just dont know that if theres some reason
why he said to wait or just the fact of
not being able to feed her or if its
something medical. I know people have had
them removed while pregnant before etc.
He told me whenever I decide I wanna do it
to make an appt so he can set up a
consult. So eh , I just dont want the
pain recurring more and more often since
itshappend 4 times in the past month ya
know. I mean eh id switch to formula if
ihad to, the pain is worse then labor I
think lol. So the sooner its gone the
better. But im not sure ifi should wait
and howlong I should wait.

Im not sure about any of this, its all
speculation but maybe its because he would
put you on strong pain killers (even
laproscopy hurts, just not as much) and it
could pass through brestmilk, or hes
conserned about the time it takes for the
surgery, her not eating and/or you not
feeding/pumping, he may also be worried
about infection afterwards
like I said all speculation, you should
ask him why he said that and what the
risks would be
Ya I didnt really ask him to much , hes
indian and has a really strong accent so
it was really hard to understand most of
what he said, hopefully there are other
drs there when I make the appt to set up
a consult.
