Hi I had my vsg and gallbladder removed on May 25. I have had no issues and I feel great. The surgery took longer of course about an extra hour. I went to the ER about a month before surgery for a gallbladder attack. I had no idea what going on. The pain was awful! The hospital wanted to remove it due to gallstones, but I had them contact my surgeon. I didn't want to be put under twice in a month. I maintained a very bland diet. Watch the seasonings you use and avoid diary, NO SPICY foods. I was fine for the month. I also took an antibotic to be safe. Good luck to you all!
