Gallbladder issues?



Recommended Posts

Anyone have gallbladder issues after sleeve?

I'm just shy of 4yrs post sleeve and started having gallbladder issues beginning of this year. The attacks are atypical(?), I get light headed, sometimes dizzy, break out sweating like crazy and feel extremely tired all the time.

Anyone else have similar symptoms?

Gallbladder goes on October 20th...hoping to feel better and have more energy after!

It's common to have gallbladder issues after weight loss, and not just WLS, I had to have mine out a long time ago after losing 40 pounds on Weight Watchers. Some people say they are given a medication to protect their gallbladder after WLS, I'm glad mine is already gone. Good luck with your surgery!

Gallbladder is out - was a bit more sore than I figured, ugh!! I had hiatal hernia repair in February and it barely phased me!

But feel pretty good today, went to my sons soccer game and a quick stop at dreadful Walmart! Shoulders are still sore from air but I've sneezed a dozen and a half times today and at first feared it being painful, thankfully was okay!

      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.
