Re: Surgery
My wife had her's ot 2 years ago and it went very smoothly. This is a very common simple surgery. But like you said, surgery is surgery and any cutting of the body assumes a risk. But I always am amazed at how our body can survive with less organs than we were given. My wife has both her appendix and gallbladder out. I always made fun of her before her surgery because I said "look at it this way, when you have problems in the future, there is a better chance of a diagnosis because you have less organs."
In all seriousness, prayers being sent your way. Should be a routine, simple surgery for your wife.
