So sorry to hear you're having so many problems. I hope you feel a lot better after getting those stones out. So you're having an ERCP?

Yes I think that's what they keep referring to. Also, ironically they left a JP drain in yesterday-- I didn't think I would be seeing one of these again so soon...

I had my gallbladder checked before my surgery and it was fine. I just had mine out 9/11. Less then a year from my sleeve.

What area of the country do you live? I'm just curious because it seems like the hospital isn't qualified on something as basic as a gallbladder. Not knocking rural towns, I lived in a beautiful place for over 20 years, but the downside is a lack of medical care.

It's really helpful for me to read these posts. I have and x-ray coming up the 1st of October. I have high level of bilirubin and my PCP wants to check my GB. I have no pain or any other sxs that I am aware of. Thank you so much for sharing this. :)

I do live in a "rural" type of area, my first gallbladder surgery wasn't in the smallest hospital I've ever seen though, they did transfer me to a major hospital for the second surgery

      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.
