Where is the Pain located??

I do cross fit 3 times a week and love it!! Obviously go easy at first and work your way into it, it's a rough work out but so rewarding!!

I had my gall bladder removed two months post OP due to the rapid weight loss mine got infected, dialated and I had never had issues prior to my surgery and by that time I was at a 65lb loss Two months out so my bariatric Dr got me in three days after my horrible attack and removed it! The recovery was worse than my lapband surgery but 6 weeks out and I'm finally just feeling normal again!! I wish he would have taken it out during my lapband surgery since this can be an known issue with the rapid weight loss! Glad you're feeling better!

Thank you everyone!! No secret really I'm just very strict on what I put in my body, I'm a vegan and I work out a ton.. The key to success is discipline!! I did get weighed today and I can officially say I'm in Onderland!!!!!! I started at 293lbs and today IM 197lbs.. My goal is 155-160lbs!!

Well its been a little over 3 months since surgery and I'm down 93lbs!!! 1 more pound and I'll be In onderland! Crossing my fingers that at weigh in tomorrow I'll be under 200 (I haven't weighed in a week) my size 12 jeans are getting to big and I just started wearing them last week. It feels so good to be a successful bander.. Here is a photo from last weekend at ny company xmas party and it felt amazing for everyone coming up to me complimenting me and telling me how amazing I'm looking and how awesome I'm doing and the best comment of all was omg you look like a model ) ok I'm done gloating I'm just so excited at how well I'm doing and how successful I've been!

How was your appointment...

I wish our gas was that cheap we pay $4.25 a gallon

Awesome I'm doing it in August of 2013 I can't wait!

As it sounds like your gall bladder call your Dr for Referral to get a ultrasound or even better a hida scan.

That's awesome!!! I can't wait to hit the 100 lbs lost club.. Even after losing 65 in a little over two months I'm feeLing so much better.. Only 55 more to go for me Is your photo of you doing a mud run?

Its in the right upper quadrant area its a sharp Pain that radiates into my back and shoulder and it makes me sick to my stomach and throw up. I eat very healthy no fat at all and when my surgeon sent me too the er a few says ago my gall bladder was extremely dialated full of sludge and a stone so he scheduled me for surgery right away as it can be damaging to the band if not taken out.. Call your surgeon and let them know what's going on they'll prob take it out. My Dr said once it starts it doesn't stop due to the rapid weight loss... Good luck girly hope you get it taken care of.. I'll be so much happier once its out living in constant pain the past week has been hell

Has anyone else had there gall bladder removed after being banded??, I've been having extreme attacks for a week now I go in tomorrow morning to have it out as my Dr said rapid weight loss causes this.. I'm almost 8 weeks post OP and down 45 since surg 65 with my pre OP diet. Only thing I'm really worried about is having those gas pains again,:/ well they unfill my band?
