glamgirl, it sounds like that's the best way to go! I had the hiatal hernia repair with my sleeve, but now I'm worried about my gallbladder down the road. Good luck to you on Monday. You are going to do great. Knock all this outta the park!!

Aww thank you for those kind words of encouragement logicwand! :)

I’m 1.5 years out only 25 years old and I had an attack about a month ago. Never had any previous symptoms and it was very severe I actually had gange green and it had to be removed immediately. The surgeon said he had never seen one in that condition for someone under 50. He also of course mentioned that with wls gallbladder disease is common. Scariest thing I’ve ever been through medically it was so painful

Wow. I'm so sorry to hear that! Did they open your previous sleeve incisions to take your gallbladder out? How are you feeling now? Did they give you pain medication?!

Had my sleeve 12/2016, started having issues with mild gallbladder pain 6/2017. My surgeon did an ultrasound and I had no stones so he did a follow up HIDA scan and my EJ was really high which shows the gallbladder was not functioning properly. Opted not to have surgery right away but did end up having it out 2/16/18. Easy recovery, back to work within 4 days.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
