Gallbladder -- anyone WANT it out at same time as surgery?
LoserMama posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know its not technically necessary, but with a rate of something like 1 in 3 people needing their gallbladder out during active weight loss, I would love to just circumvent a repeat hospital stay. Has anyone had their gallbladder out at the same time as the sleeve? Dare I even ask the surgeon? -

Interesting article about sleeve...and why to take your vitamins.
LoserMama replied to SuperMom's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I wonder....are there any studies about vitamin deficiencies in normal people as compared to those who have had the sleeve?? Sorry, I'm continuing to resurrect old threads, but very interesting stuff! -

DS is a lot more extensive in its rerouting from all I've read and seen, than the RNY. Its a major major diversion of the intestines, resulting in severe malabsorption. I guess its most similar to the Distal RNY in malabsorption, but that isn't the typical RNY done. Don't quite want THAT much diversion...., just the same degree as RNY :) I wonder if a doc will do a DS with a proximal diversion? That would be it, right?

Ghrelin and memory / learning?
LoserMama replied to Rootman's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am digging through old threads, but any new thinking on this? This scares the bejesus out of me. I already have ADHD, and my job relies on my ability to be a clear, articulate and compelling speaker. How long does this fog period last? Could it also be related to pain meds after surgery in addition to anesthesia? -
I am wishing for more definitive data. I was not happy to see 30% needing chronic PPI meds -- is that the experience here, as well? And seeing 15% converted to RNY. What I want is a RNY sleeve! Make my stomach smaller, like sleeve, but do the malabsoprtion, like rny! :)

She finally gives up. After we eat lunch, she perks up and says, 'Do you want a cookie?" GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH and I still survived yesterday.

For the love of all that is holy, drinking this much water has me taking a lot more bio breaks. Will this always be this way?
