Why would I need ultra sound of my gallbladder



Recommended Posts

I'm going for a consult next Friday, and they want me to havea ultra sound of my gallbladder, before I go. Has anyone else had to do this, and does anyone know why. My ex surgeon did not make me do this?

Gallbladder ultra sound is to see if you have any gallbladder stones or flares. It's just to make sure you don't have complications after the surgery.

Thanks, I just could not figure out why they require me to get the ultra sound and the other surgeon did not.

with losing weight so quickly it is likely or possible that we could develope gallbladder stones and that could be what they are scanning for. Actually that is the only thing they could be scanning for lol.

If you have existing stones or "sludge" he may recommend removal as part of your surgery. It's fairly common.

      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.
