Uh - oh. If you still have a gallbladder, Google gallstone symptoms. Just sayin'. But to avoid a serious case of Google-itis and needless worry about everything else we could suggest from our vast wealth of personal experience, you should call your doctor.

Thanks miss mac I did google my symptoms nd thAt was the most things that came up. Really worried as I dnt want to go they surgery again. Really pee'd off as I thought my surgeon wud have advised me n have it removed when having the band put in! I hated recovery as it's hard when u have three kids relying on u also. Thought my Tummy Tuck would be my last surgical procedure to go through in the near future. Have an appointment with my doctor tmro.. Let's c wah happens... Keep u posted and thanks for the reply x

I had mine out back in 1973 when they still split you half in two. I was in the hospital eleven days. Now they do the laparascpoic surgery and you are practically in and out like the drive-through at McDonalds. The before pain can be far worse than the recovery. I hope the doctor can find some relief for you.

      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.
