Just at a loss.

Hey all! I just had gallbladder surgery two days ago and I'm at a loss for words...

​

I had confirmed with my surgeon before going under that he would use absorbable sutures and cauterizing the artery to not leave anything permanent in me.

​

After I woke up they confirmed they did both but had to use a titanium staple. I don't know what to say or think or even do right now. I have a nickel and cobalt allergy and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. My body feels like it's under an active allergic reaction.

​

I'm itching today and have burning skin..not sure if it's just my MCAS reacting to the surgery or if it's the staple. I called my surgeon and he said not to worry as it's very rare for titanium to cause allergic reactions.

​

I went to the ER this morning and they gave me Pepcid and sent me home.
