Gall Bladder question (TMI but need to know)



Recommended Posts

How many sleevers also got their gall bladder removed? Mine was removed with my sleeve surgery & I am wondering if this awful watery diarrhea will ever go away or is this something I will have to live with from now on?

Yes it will. I had my gallbladder out 2 years ago. Once your body adjusts to the digestion, you will be fine. I am having that prob from the liquid diet. liquid in liquid out. There are still some foods that trigger the diarrhea. It is almost like a smaller version of dumping syndrome.

Once you get on more solid food i.e. mushy foods, the bowels will kind of even out. I had my gb removed 8 months post-sleeve, and struggled with foods causing diarrhea and nausea. I had to cut all fat from my diet, and couldn't eat anything Tomato based for about a 3 month period. My body has somewhat adjusted, but occasionally I still bouts of diarrhea if I eat very rich foods, but it's only on occasion.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
