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?

I'm on a low fat diet already and the pain is there! I had a piece of bread and I had sweats and dry heaves! I feel like I can't eat anything :(

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

      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
