Gallbladder issues but june 6 sleeve date

[shays4265 26]

I have started my pre-op diet and been doing great. My surgery is scheduled for June 6 but I am feeling pain under my breast on the right side. I believe it is my gall bladder and I do not want it to interfere with my surgery. What can I do to ease the pain so it doesn't interfere. I am so ready for my surgery.

You should probably talk to your surgeon. Sometimes they take out the gallbladder during VSG surgery, so maybe he could just take it out while he's in there. It is really common for people to have gallbladder problems after rapid weight loss, so if you are having problems now it will probably be worse after surgery. Its something that's worth talking to your surgeon about. Good luck!

I think you should talk to the sugeon asap and see what alll that is about? before your surgery. You dont want any complication during surgery

Agree about checking with your surgeon. He/she will probably just remove it at the same time. A lot of people wind up having their gallbladder removed anyway. Or shouldn't delay getting sleeved.

Your surgeon needs to know ASAP so he/she can make the best decision for your overall health. That is what's most important at this point. I hope the attack isn't so bad and the GB can just be removed during the sleeve procedure.

Good luck!

I do not want anything to change when I get my sleeve. That is why I do not want to say anything at all. I have been waiting for this and would be devastated if I do joy have it when it is scheduled.
