October 2014

[BeccaE1 38]

I've done my EGD, gall bladder ultrasound, bloodwork, etc... and I have pre-op and dietician visit on October 3. I'm scheduled for surgery on October 10. I'm considering asking the surgeon if he'll remove my gall bladder also while he's in there. It's private pay so there's no insurance hassles on it. I've heard and read nightmare stories about gall bladder attacks and gall stones after the surgery so if I can prevent it, I'd like to. Anyone have the same idea or thoughts on the gall bladder removal?

I already had my gallbladder removed several years ago so it's not an issue for me, but from what I have read...I think I would see about having it removed during the WLS.

Hello! First post - scheduled for oct 17. But just got a call from the doc - a nurse left a message - smth abt the date. In limbo now.

But - i am incredibly unprepared. I thought of going easy today and got a bigger Breakfast than usual? I have no plan, no goal-posts...

Am i alone? Anyone else in the same state of mind - we can band together? Anyone walked through this and has pointers?

Hi All!

I have one test to go tomorrow and should have approval and surgery date by next week. Started pre-op diet yesterday = 3 shakes and one lean/green meal. Pretty miserable, but it will be worth it
