It's different for everyone. They went in twice. Second time to make sure everything was out. I couldn't walk for a few weeks. Had the runs. Good luck

I had RNY first then about 6 wks after RNY I had a really bad gall bladder attack. I did not know what it was and thought I was having a heart attack. I called my surgeon and they said I may have gall stones, I went for a ultrasound and sure enough I had many many stones. So 10 wks after RNY I was under the knife again for stones. It took me longer to bounce back from GB surgery than the RNY - go figure. If I knew about GB before the RNY I would have insisted on a ultrasound on the GB BEFORE RNY for sure. I am almost 9 months post op now and feeling GREAT !!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
