Had my gallbladder out 12 years ago. I thought I was having a heart attack. It did really hurt for about 3 days. After a week you'll feel like a new woman. Glad your surgery went well.

Hi there Daisy!!

So sorry I hadn't been around ans not seeing this post. I;m glad the surgery went uneventful and that you're home.

I never had an issues- but had to do emergancey surgery on me too for my gall bladder.

The sneezing and coughing is awful! Kept a pillow on my stomach and held it tight when it happened!

Glad you're home!

Take care and sending speedy recovery wishes your way!!

It's really too bad that you had to have gone through such a surgery, but it's done now and each day the pain will lesson. I had to have mine out when I was only 21 years old. I was jaundiced, my skin and eyes were yellow. The procedure was an emergency... At that time it was done as an open procedure and mine was so diseased that all ducts to the liver etc. had to be cut open and scraped because instead of stones I had gravel and sand everywhere. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks and in the beginning the pain was so intense I will not ever forget it. I hope you have some people at home with you who are able to give you lots of TLC. You'll be OK.

It may take a while Daisy. Be patient and get plenty of rest - you're only a week out. I had abdominal surgery at the same time as my sleeve and it seemed to take ages to get over it. Glad you are on the mend though and if you have any worries see your doctor. Take care x

get better dasiy! and a speedy recovery! can ask if it was the weightloss that caused the gallbladder to go bad? nikki[/quote

I don't know. I know it is very common for people who have had WLS to have their gall bladder out though.

It is very common to have gall bladder problems when you loose weight. Be aware that this is a possible out come of weight loss so you will not need emergency surgery. If you have it done before you get infected or in alot of pain it goes much easier.

Oregondaisy: have patience, it will take a couple of weeks to recover from this surgery. It is not like the VSG recovery. Sorry!

Daisy, glad you are feeling better. The Big "D" will go away. TMI next

You should be glad it is so loose as you really do not want to do any pushing after that surgery. Funny where some blessing come from. LOL

Get your Water and Fiber in every day and you will recuperate fast.

Side note here: the first time I ever visited Dallas (the big D) I got a case of Diarrhea so bad it took weeks to fully get over. Ever since, diarrhea had been the Big D in our house. I still do not like to visit Dallas. Sorry Texans. I like the Kerrville (hill Country) area a lot. So, not all of Texas, just Dallas. There, did I make peace? I do not want to mess with Texas. (Texans get even~~scary thought)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
