Yes..i was really sick for a long time..my Dr just didn't believe me I guess..i was so happy to get it out!

I bet. When I had my gastric done I asked the surgeon how my gallbladder looked he said it was fine. But sure enough 2 months later out it came. But I think I was just starting to have symptoms of gallbladder issues. But since gastric I panic at anything that is out of the norm feeling. There are too many things that can go wrong not to worry about these things.

Ouch!! Those are huge! When I found I was having gallbladder issues ... Naeusea all the time ... Then the pain hit hard and would not go away. It was in my back between my shoulder blades and in the front of my chest. Took morphine for the pain to ease up a bit. Now after surgery it still hurts BAD and I have thrown up everytime I have ate :/ which doesn't help with the healing process because the use of stomach muscles. I just keep praying everyday that it gets better.

Omg I have an ultra sound scheduled for thursday and I can not wait!!!! I am in soooo much pain! I have "attacks" and it is the worst feeling! How long did it take for everyone to get their gall bladder removed once the drs knew there were stones?

Great! I didn't know I should adjust my diet again ... Surgeon said to stay on stage three diet. I am just going to go back to Protein shakes' date=' Water, Greek yogurt and cheese! Ugh!![/quote']

Only adjust your diet to what you're surgeon suggests!

Then I'm sure you're not eating things that aggravate it more...hang tight til your ultra sound..if you have stones I'm sure they would set you up for surgery as soon as possible. They wanted me to see the surgeon right away but I told them I would be having rny soon and they would take my gallbladder out then...just made me a little upset that I had to deal with it for 2yrs before something was done! Where is your pain mostly? Mine would move around but was always on my right side or back or up into my shoulders...then it gradually just settled in my gut in the front. I was also dealing with ulcers at the same time...if nothing shows up with your gallbladder they should do a endoscope to see if it's ulcers

      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.
