Have you heard the recent news story about a lady who had a tumor removed from her kidney through her va-jay-jay? Or this story where a lady donated a kidney and the doctor removed it through her va-jay-jay.
It's a new surgical procedure called Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgeries (NOTES) that uses a natural body opening to remove organs and tissues. They say it's better for the patient because they are not left with any visible scars and the healing time is less and there is supposedly less pain. One article I was reading said that removal through the vagina eliminated the need for a 5 to 6 inch incision on one lady's abdomen. I'm not so sure I would be proud of that - what is that saying about her? Okay, enough, enough!
I discovered yesterday after suffering in pain for several hours and scaring Brian half to death that my gall bladder is loaded with large stones. My midwife seems to think that my gall bladder will need to be removed ASAP which is why I am going to see a surgeon on Thursday. I can't imagine what in the world I would do if I went to the surgical consultation and the doctor informed me that he would be removing my gall bladder through my va-jay-jay. I just can't believe that this is the direction surgery is headed in. The next thing you know you'll be going to the dentist for a tooth extraction - the dr will say, "open wide" and he will not be talking about your mouth.

Saw a surgery where they removed the appendix via the mouth. Better that than the va-jay-jay..I always say ;)
How funny would that be? Well, all I can say mine is big enough!!!!
They just did it on ER last week. Through the mouth though. Relax, had my gallbladder out, through tiny lacerations in my stomach. (Less noticable than the post pregnancy stretch marks!)
It really wasn't a big deal. Get it done. You WILL have another attack.
After 4 babies, they could probably remove all my internal organs through my hoo-ha! Hope you feel better!
Ok...I think Ree saw that one on Greys last week....anyways, I say why not? If a human can come out of there why not a gallbladder? Much smaller...and no contractions!! Also, you don't have to feed it for the next 18 years. Hope you feel better soon.
hahaha
Megs you have a point!
I did see it on Greys, but I also read about it at work in a Journal study. Guess they are trying them in Chicago.
