Gallbladder ????



Recommended Posts

I am having terrible pains on my upper right abdominal area just below my ribs. A friend of mine said it was possibly my gallbladder. Has anyone had gallbladder issues after having lapband? I was banded May 14, 2012 .

Yes, I had to have my gallbladder removed a few weeks ago when I was about 6 months post op from my band surgery. Mine was considered to be an "atypical presentation", as none of the testing revealed any gallstones (ultrasound and MRI), and my pain was initially on my left side. Then I ended up being hospitalized for pancreatitis.

Further testing (HIDA scan) showed that my gallbladder had stopped working entirely, which precipitated the inflamed pancreas. I was experiencing waves of nausea, and then the pain switched to my right side.

Since the pancreatitis attacks generally get worse over time, I was advised to have my gallbladder removed. Now there is no more pain, and no more nausea.

My significant weight loss apparently exacerbated my gall bladder condition...and no one knows why or when it stopped working.

Not sure what it is...but I went to the ER myself 3 months ago and turns out I had gallstones. Rather then remove an organ the good Lord gave me, I had a sonogram that showed my stones. I had 2 options: get it removed or try a natural remedy. I opted for the natural remedy and WAS COMPLETELY FLOORED WITH THE RESULTS !!!

You start off with Apple juice during the day (eating nothing) and then drink 8 oz of pure lemon juice and 8 oz of pure olive oil 4 hours before going to bed. 1oz every 15 minutes before going to bed.

In short, the next morning, you will despense many little green gallstones. If I didn't trust my 2 health nut friends...I wouldn't believe it myself. Just Google Gallbladder Cleanse with lemon juice and olive oil...you will find plenty of information.

That all said...do your research, go to the doctor on the safe side for diagnosis first.

      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.
