I have surgery scheduled for next tuesday ( lets see if i can make it i am in ALOT of pain) I had all the Fluid taken out of my band today.... But i am still having trouble keeping fluids down... When i drink the pain gets so intense it makes me sick and throwing it up seems to be the only relief.. I have read that throwing up is part of the problem with gallstones.... Lets hope it gets better because right now the pain meds arent even helping :( :( :( :( :(

Please make sure you stay hydrated. I know you can't keep liquids down but try ices and ice chips. If it gets too bad go back to the ER and insist on earlier surgery. My prayers are with you.

Just an update!! Today I feel back to normal! I guess taking all the Fluid out of my band and letting it rest last night was best! I can hold down liquids today! Woohoo (I think its been since saturday since i have actually had a drink of any kind) i have enough pain meds to last me to Tuesday... Hopefully it will not flair up again till then!!! And my Dr said the surgery souldnt affect my lap band.. THANK GOODNESS... ( On a bright note even tho ive been miserable my weight has dropped to 185... i dont think Ive weighed that much since freshman year of highschool!!)

Thanks! :) I will be glad when this is a distant memory!!! I have since learned my grandmother and ALL her sisters had their gallbladders removed between the ages of 23-26 I'm 24 so I guess I fit right in with my family! They all told me once it was removed they have never had any more troubles! I cant wait for this thing to be GONE!!! :lol:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
