  1. I've noticed that people who have been sleeved or bypass end up having to have their gallbladder removed. The gallbladder is working extra hard on all the Protein intake. So gallstones become an issue. Dr s differ. Some remove the gallbladder with the sleeve or bypass why others wait and have to go in later to remove the gallbladder. Bothe my daughter and myself have had to have our gallbladder removed and now we re having issues with kidney stones. My girlfriend and her daughter also had the same issues

    People Noticing Wt Loss

    People do notice but r afraid to ask. I went down 2sizes n when I finally wore medium scrubs, most of the staff started commenting "it's about time u wear clothes that fit. Ur other uniforms were falling off u" so, they had noticed but didn't say anything. Me, I'm very blunt. I ll tell u the truth n say "ur losing weight, u look good.. Keep it up!" But it does feel good when they acknowledge it! I know exactly how u feel. Even my close friend who had gastric bypass doesn't acknowledge it. I finally said ,"Cecilia, look at my pic on my iPad( which was a year old)..do I look the same? She said, mmmm u look a lil thinner around ur chin" I couldn't believe it! But maybe, jealousy has a lot to do with it.at least that's what my fiancé says. But, I will tell u.. Good job, I know it was hard. Keep it up!

  10. Oops, forgot to mention. I'm proud to say I'm 51yr...
  11. Hello to all my Nursing Sisters! I've been in nursing 33yrs. I m a pedi nurse, and was was sleeved on June 25. I was out 10 days. I've lost 40#. I've gone from wearing a real tight XL scrubs to a loose Large. I need to invest in med. scrubs but I'm soooo proud of myself and to be able to bend without feeling like I'm suffocating myself. To be able to cross my legs freely without having to lift n cross my legs by pulling on my pant leg. My blood pressure is normal 118/56 without any meds...woohoo! Good Luck to everyone! This is the best decision I've ever made..
