Gallstone Problems, Anyone Else After Surgery?
RandiCartmill replied to donna12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my gall bladder removed two months post OP due to the rapid weight loss mine got infected, dialated and I had never had issues prior to my surgery and by that time I was at a 65lb loss Two months out so my bariatric Dr got me in three days after my horrible attack and removed it! The recovery was worse than my lapband surgery but 6 weeks out and I'm finally just feeling normal again!! I wish he would have taken it out during my lapband surgery since this can be an known issue with the rapid weight loss! Glad you're feeling better! -
Well its been a little over 3 months since surgery and I'm down 93lbs!!! 1 more pound and I'll be In onderland! Crossing my fingers that at weigh in tomorrow I'll be under 200 (I haven't weighed in a week) my size 12 jeans are getting to big and I just started wearing them last week. It feels so good to be a successful bander.. Here is a photo from last weekend at ny company xmas party and it felt amazing for everyone coming up to me complimenting me and telling me how amazing I'm looking and how awesome I'm doing and the best comment of all was omg you look like a model ) ok I'm done gloating I'm just so excited at how well I'm doing and how successful I've been!

RandiCartmill replied to RandiCartmill's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you everyone!! No secret really I'm just very strict on what I put in my body, I'm a vegan and I work out a ton.. The key to success is discipline!! I did get weighed today and I can officially say I'm in Onderland!!!!!! I started at 293lbs and today IM 197lbs.. My goal is 155-160lbs!! -
I'm only two weeks post op from being banded but I'm researching PS and I'm leaning towards a mermaid lift once I hit goal and maintain for 3 months. Has anyone had the mermaid lift?I will also be having a breast reduction and lift and possibly my arms done but not 100% as Ill prob just be able to keep them toned with weights! Any info or advice is greatly appreciated.. Banded August 28 2012<br />Starting weight 293<br />Day of surgery weight 273<br />Current weight 258<br />Goal weight 160 5ft 10

As it sounds like your gall bladder call your Dr for Referral to get a ultrasound or even better a hida scan.

Gall Bladder
RandiCartmill replied to RandiCartmill's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Its in the right upper quadrant area its a sharp Pain that radiates into my back and shoulder and it makes me sick to my stomach and throw up. I eat very healthy no fat at all and when my surgeon sent me too the er a few says ago my gall bladder was extremely dialated full of sludge and a stone so he scheduled me for surgery right away as it can be damaging to the band if not taken out.. Call your surgeon and let them know what's going on they'll prob take it out. My Dr said once it starts it doesn't stop due to the rapid weight loss... Good luck girly hope you get it taken care of.. I'll be so much happier once its out living in constant pain the past week has been hell -
I'm Eating Normal???
RandiCartmill replied to Oh-la-la's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You may need more fills to get to the green zone. I was lucky and hit the green zone right after surgery and with only 4cc in my band but again every one is different.. I wish you luck and just remember its a life style change and you need to talk to your surgeon about what's going on.. -
