I had my preop and all is well but i need my galbladder removed now i'm freaked out. I did not know that i had problems. so next week they take it too. so my questions is what kind of recovery am i looking forward to? healing? will I be sore and can I go back in a week to work? thats what I had planned only one week. i may be able to take 2 more days but my dr( dentist/boss) utilizes me. I guess I do not want any problems with my job and i dont want any issues with healing. any thoughts?

I only took a week when I had my gall bladder out but I should have taken another week. I was teaching second grade at the time so if you are able to sit at your job you might be ok in a week. I am not banded yet and didnt' have them done at the same time so I probably don't know what I am talking about. You are way better off having them done at the same time rather than lose a little weight and have to go back in for the gallbladder. Be glad they discovered it before you had symptoms. Gallbladder symptoms are bad. Good luck!

      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.
