Yesterday was a wake up call. I had been having right upper quadrant pain. One episode last month sent me to the ER from work as the medical dept thought I was having a heart attack. I had a gallbladder ultrasound and Hyda Scan on 11/30 and just found out the results yesterday. My gallbladder is shot (only functioning at 5%) and I have "fatty infiltration of the liver."
I've been looking at gastric surgeries over the past two years including gastric banding, gastric bypass and now VSG. I was sort of on the fence thinking I could still do this on my own. However, this has brought me back to looking at gastric WLS.
I am meeting with my surgeon re) the gallbladder on Mon. 12/14. He is also my gastric surgeon referral. I met with him last year about gastric surgery options. I want to ask him if the VSG could be done at the same time as the gallbladder surgery. He is pretty conservative so if it isn't a good idea, he will let me know.
Question: has anyone had the gallbladder surgery first and then VSG or other gastric WLS?
Thanks for listening.
