The surgery from my gallbladder seems to be hurting worse than actual GB surgery ... Maybe cause I was on morphine afterwards? I just want to feel 100% better ... This has not been a easy journey

I had mine removed. Not quite a month yet and yes it KILLED me!!!! It was 200% worst then gastric. I am still having pain, not as bad though , and discomfort and still can't lay on my left side without it feeling like something is pulling. I have to take a loratab every night since just to be comfortable!!

I had my removed exactly two weeks after gastric bypass. The doctor didn't think it was possible so quickly. I agree, a scan of gallbladder should be a requirement. The gallbladder surgery was so much more painful. Don't do too much to not hurt yourself.

If you go on YouTube you can see the actual surgery for he gall bladder removal. They slide a zip lock bad in their to put the gall bladder in and then pull the gall bladder through your belly button. It's really weird.

You can also see the video for the RNY pretty cool if you don't get queasy

I was having problems with my gallbladder for a couple years...i had alot of poisson on my right side..in my back and sometimes up between my shoulder blades...extreme pain from certain things I ate that were too greasy..throwing up yellow bile...i had been telling my Dr but I think she thought it was all in. my head! I was having attacks that would last for a few days. When I met with the surgeon before rny he had me go for an ultra sound and sure enough they found stones so they removed mine at the time of rny..5 large stones..if I had not mentioned it before hand I have no doubt I would have been having surgery again!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
