Electing To Remove Gallbladder During Vsg
slimthickens posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon is recommending an elective gallbladder removal with my vsg because he says that 4 out of 5 patients will have to have it removed anyway within the following 10-15 years due to the rapid weight loss. Anyone elected to this and did what were the effects? -

My insurance is paying for my surgery but that is a great point! I'd better do some double checking to make sure they'll cover the gallbladder as well as the hiatal hernia repair. Thanks for the heads up! -

Electing To Remove Gallbladder During Vsg

Thanks for the input gals. I've done more research and have decided to just have it out altogether to avoid the possibility of having it out later. I've always struggleds with constipation (TMI!) anyway so hopefully the loose stools won't be a problem...lol -
I had my EGD last month and they told me I also have a hiatal hernia that will need to be repaired. It must be common for overweight people to have them since so many of us will need them repaired during our VSG's.

Afro Cyster that's what I'm worried about as well but on the other hand I worry about needlessly removing an organ. Its all so darn confusing...lol -

Wow! They let you go home the same day? What was your pain level? -
Wow! You ladies (and gents) are so encouraging. I'm waiting for my surgery date but I know I'll be a basket case the night before as well. So gmadeline10 you'll be the one on the other side of surgery telling me everything will go great and just as well as yours did!
