I had my Lapband surgery in November 2010. I recently had to have my gall bladder removed. Has anyone who had to have there gall bladder removed after lapband surgery had problems with fills? I was at my sweet spot prior to the surgery which was in August, I was losing 10lbs a month and now I feel like I am back to square one! any input would be greatly appreciated =)

I had my gallbladder removed six months after being banded but haven't had issues with fills. I also did not have to have an unfill for the surgery - you may have, and it's well known that being completely unfilled then refilled - your body will react differently to the fills.

Monitor your food and Fluid intake and retrain yourself on your band.

Thank you Acadia. They did take liquid out because they assumed it was my lapband making me so sick! I think they took out more then they said they did so it just completely through me off.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
