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

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
