Gallbladder removal

I am going to have my gallbladder removed next Tuesday. I am looking for sympathy/empathy as I am afraid. What am I afraid of? That from what I read on the Internet (which one should never do!) that it won't help, that I'll still be in pain and having all the other issues (weird BM's, gas, belching, vomiting, etc.), that missing so much work (I work as a nurse on a very physically demanding floor complete with having to lift patients, etc.) that now I'll be pegged as the one that causes problems for being sick (the world of nursing is not sometimes the most caring field at least for nurses!), that I don't know... I've seen a lot of infections from so-called "easy" surgeries like gallbladders and hernia operations. In short, I'm afraid. I felt better when I first talked to the surgeon and then like I said, my mind just has gone wild. It sucks! I do pray and I depend on prayer... just write me if you've been through this and let me know it's going to be OK! Thanks, Sasha
