If that's so he's gonna feel much better after this. I had mine out in 1997. Any ingestion of fat causes an attack and the pain is debilitating. No fat, no pain! I had to wait three months for my surgery, and as long as I ate no fat, life was good. Antacids made me sick prior to the surgery too, sooo..yeah this should fix him up real well if that's the case!
No lifting for two weeks after the surgery! He should be back on his feet pretty quickly afterwards as well. Mine was day surgery.
Hugs to T! Feel better!
