Well I'm on my way to another hospital.. Since I've been sick on and off since sunday. I went for a ultrasound this morning because my blood levels were high, they couldn't see my appendix but my gallbladder had polyps in it and my primary doctor wanted to do a hydroscan of my gallbladder and it included a nuclear medication and I wanted to make sure with my batriatic surgeon and so he called me from home and he insisted tht it comes out and that the scan was going to be useless and we already know what's wrong! He talked to my primary doctor and now they have called the hospital to let them I know I'm coming to be evaluated by a surgeon and so I might get it out today or very soon! I just had my surgery october 9th well guess well see what happens!!! I'll keep posted! P.s. I am in pain! :( but I do love my surgeon he knows what's best

I've seen all of your posts over the last week. So sorry you are dealing with all of this. I really hope this gets resolved ASAP for you. I remember having gallstones before finally having it removed. They hurt really bad. Once that thing is out, you will feel so much better. I also think they surgery is pretty easy. I didn't think the sleeve was too bad but the gall bladder was even easier than the sleeve.

I went in and they had to do the ultrasound over again, and they didn't find polyps they found gallstones, so I will be going very surgery within a couple weeks

      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.
