I am 5 months post op. I love my journey so far. SW - 219. CW 158. GW 130. The problem is I didn't have my gallbladder out. Because of the drastic weight loss, I now have gallstones and need surgery to remove my gallbladder. Tip here make sure they check your gallbladder and if you have any stones get it out during your sleeve.

Trust me I am so happy I had the sleeve and my only regret is not having them take out my gallbladder. Good luck!

Yup.... When I had my abdominal sonogram the radiologist told me to ask the surgeon to just "move over to the other side" and take out my gall bladder while she was in there. He said the gall stones were too big to ever pass. I really didn't have much issue with it. However, after the surgery the surgeon said it was a good thing she took it out because of the stones and I also had polyps in my GB. In addition she found a hiatal hernia and fixed that, too.... I had no complications from the surgery and feel great

      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...

        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.
