I was just the opposite of you I had RNY then 10 wks after that I had a major GB attack and had it removed. It all depends on the surgeon, "dirty" surgery means that if they are near a part of your body that they can nick a bowel that is not good or they don't want to chance it. Its better to be safe than sorry.

My doctor wouldn't remove mine either. I know I have gallstones. They found them two years ago when doing an x-ray when I complained of severe back pain. Then they sent me for a ultrasound. I had never had an attack so I wasn't worried. Then last august I had my first and only attack. The pain! It lasted about eight hours and most of that time was spent in the ER. I know I have to have mine out but I keep putting it off...

My doc didnt take mine out, but also puts me on a med for 3 months to prevent gallstones from rapid weight loss.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
