bondgirl 0 Posted December 20, 2005 I went to the Doctor today because I had a really bad gallbladder attack after lunch on Saturday. It lasted until 3am Sunday morning. It was very painful and I had a lot of belching with it. I am going for an ultrasound tomorrow to check on it and to see what is going on. I may have to have surgery to get it removed. I sure hope that isnt the case. I don't want to have to go through another surgery. My side is still hurting and I am on a bland diet this evening and then fasting until after the ultrasound. Wish me luck! Angie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunsett 2 Posted December 20, 2005 Melissa, That would stink! I'm so sorry to hear that you are suffering like this. Feel better and if there is anything I can do to help let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gordonfamily3 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Oh Angie...I am so sorry. I had mine out in March of 99. It was about the same healing time as the band. Who will do your surgery? Make sure they are careful with the band...wouldn't want it to get messed up. Please keep us posted!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunsett 2 Posted December 20, 2005 Angie, I'm sorry I called you Melissa, I keep getting your screen names messed up. Feel better and let us know if we can help. I had my GB out 19yrs ago. It is so much easier now to have it out. I sure hope you won't have to though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragonwillow 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Angie, I hope you don't have to have another surgery...but if you do, I'm sure you will do great. You have had such great weight loss and are doing awesome with your band. Melissa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bondgirl 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Thanks everyone. I will let you know how it goes tomorrow and let you know what they have to say. I cant eat or drink anymore tonight. My ultrasound is at 8:30 so good thing it is early! Dianne it is ok. I knew who you were talking too! Angie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs Sabre 1 Posted December 20, 2005 Angie, we're thinking of you! I'm praying everything will go well. Please keep us posted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bondgirl 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Well here is the verdict. I have to have surgery! YAY! <sigh> I am trying to see if Dr. Bauman can do this so he can go in there and not mess anything up with the lapband. We shall see. Me General Practitioner got the results today and sat me down and said I have to have surgery due to gallstones and I have kidney stones in both kidney's. I am falling apart at the seams here girls! I hope this isnt hard on me and that I recover like I did with the Lap-band. Wish me luck and I will keep you updated on when I am having it. Angie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunsett 2 Posted December 20, 2005 OH I'm so sorry to hear that Angie. My friend kept putting off the surgery. She finially couldn't take it any longer and had it done last month. She felt great the next day. So you can think of it that way. Your lucky it's now and not 19yrs ago! I was in the hospital for 2 weeks after! Still a bummer I know. Keep us posted. di Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jammin & Losin 1 Posted December 20, 2005 Angie~ I'm so sorry you are going to have surgery. I think you will bounce back quickly. I had galbladder surgery 1 month before band surgery and they are very simular to recover from. You will be fine and the attacks are awful and all that will be gone. So it is well worth having this done. good luck and best wishes for a speedy recovery!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs Sabre 1 Posted December 20, 2005 I too hope Dr. Bauman can do the surgery for you! I hate that you're going through this, but like Jamie said, at least you won't be bothered with painful gallbladder attacks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
