Hi there!

I am still preop, but my bariatric center makes everyone have an ultrasound as part of the work up so that if stones or disease are present, they can remove the gallbladder during the actual bariatric surgery. (It's right there, and you have an increased risk of gallstones when you rapidly lose weight anyway, so they kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.) From reading through this forum, that seems to be a common trend.

Why don't you give your surgeon's office a call and find out their policy to give yourself some piece of mind?

My surgery is scheduled for the 7th and i also have gallstones. My doctor is going to remove it the day of the surgey if all goes to plan. ☺

My surgeon recommends everyone getting the bypass have their gall bladder out because the risk of stones is so high after surgery and it saves having a follow up operation in the next year to remove it. I've already had mine out so for me, I'm ahead of the game.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
