what is she having done?
They are removing more of the stones in her common bile duct... they only got 40% last time. She may have to have a 3rd surgery after this, but we're hoping not! She's going to Mt. Sinai.

Thanks everyone!!! Everything went great! My mom decided to come home tonight, so I just got to see her finally. She looks puffy and groggy and tired, but I know she's going to be just fine! She still has to go back for another surgery- but hopefully that will be the last one!!! Thank you so much for your prayers!

Been there done this!!! Tell her that she needs to ask about an ERCP procedure!! I was told that they can't get everything via surgery and they can only get those last stones in the common bile duct by doing the ERCP (down your throat). Talk to me if you want more info - this has been my life for hte past year!!!!!!!!!

Thanks- that's actually how they've been doing these past surgeries. One more time and she should be good to go!
Thanks!!!
