I hear ya !

If it matters at all,,,,,, the surgery is a lot better then it was years ago, when they opened you up like a fish !

I don't know what else to tell you.. I was laid up for a couple of weeks, and now they are back to work in a week.

So yes ! I know it's a bummer... But if it has to come out, "and I'm sure it does." Today's Medicine has really improved.

Good Health to you.

Shirley.

Great Job on the weight Loss..

You'll be in more pain if you don't have the surgery. Gallstones are caused by yo-yo dieting and if you don't have your gallbladder out, the attacks will get more painful. Its very similar to lap-band surgery, except they deflate the gallstone and remove it, rather than inserting the lapband

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
