Four months post-op

[terry1118 1,274]

I had my 4mos post-op appt today. It was supposed to be a 3mos but it was rescheduled back in Aug. I've lost 65 pounds so far and all my labs are perfect! They told me to just keep doing what I'm doing. :-)

We also discussed removing my gallbladder. I know I have stones and had one really bad attack a year ago. I was supposed to have it out earlier this year but I opted to put off the gallbladder removal and have the rny first. I'll be having the surgery after the holidays in January. Then I'll have no worries! :-)

They should of removed your GB while they were in there !!! I had my RNY in April 2012 and about 4 wks. post op I had a really bad GB attack, I called my RNY surgeon and he sent me for a ultrasound. The stones were there prior to surgery because there were so many and they were pretty big. So 10 wks RNY post op I was under the knife for GB surgery. I know lots of surgeons do both at the same time !!!!

I've had gallstones for years but never had an attack till last year. It was my one and only, so far. My surgeon doesn't like to remove gallbladders at the same time as rny. It increases complication risks dramatically. By the time I have the surgery I should be at a healthy weight w/a normal bmi. It will be better for me, and recovery should be only a few days. Another plus? I won't be able to shovel snow! It'll be 100% my husband's job this year! Life is good! :-)
