Gallbladder Flush Pre-Surgery.. Anyone Try This?



Recommended Posts

So, I have been a little freaked out about gallstones after surgery because I have had some symptoms. My vsg date us Sept 28 and in my pre-op testing I might get an ultrasound on my gallbladder to see if it is bad. So i went to youtube and googled gallstones and OMG!! There is a "natural" flush you can do to get the stones out without the pain. This guy had a video of the stones that came out of him, I am assuming via his poo, but they looked washed off. SORRY!!! Anyways, it was HORRIDLY AMAZING what came out and how much! Liver flukes and all!!!! Just wondering if anyone has tried this prior to surgery to help avoid PAINFUL gallstones after.... And after I post this I am going to gross myself out further by watching more youtube videos. :)

I read that for weight loss paitients its better to have ur gallbladdr removed during the surgery because eventually u will have stones and they might have to operate again. I had mys removed and i can say it hurts so much. If i had the choice i would have had the gb and the vsg done at the same time.

I had my gallbladder removed last Thursday. I had my surgery june 26. I was in so much pain 2 weeks after surgery. I went to the er it was my gallbladder and pancreas. The doctor put me on gallbladder meds. They did not work. Finally after going to the er each week my.surgery doctor finally removed my.gallbladder. I.had 200 gallstones that looked like pebbles removed. I wish I could have had mind removed during my first surgery. I guess its up to your doctor. I was told that most doctors will give you medication, so you want get gallstones.

The pain from my gallbladder was unbearable. Happy its gone.

They don't remove it automatically because most people don't need it removed and won't need it removed. If I remember correctly the surgeon said 10%, and they're not in the business of taking 9 of 10 that won't need to be removed.

      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.
