Hey everyone! I had VSG almost 4 months ago. My starting weight was 244 & my current weight is 180. I had a severe abdominal pain's, did an ultrasound and my surgeon wants to see me because he seen gallstones. I am dreading another surgery so soon but I knew this could be a possibility. Has anybody had to have their gallbladder removed after VSG?

How long until y'all had crawfish? I'm 3 weeks out but I'm allowed soft fish! Is it the same or should I wait longer??

Thank y'all! I've come to find that I can eat soup all day but when I have protein shakes I get so full! So protein is helping me through it.

& I am taking my anti acid medicine as prescribed

So up until I have felt the restriction but today I got all my water in early, ate soup, protein shake, and more soup and I'm still hungry! I'm starting to freak out I ate like a cup of soup already

Good luck! I'm tomorrow as well!!

March 8th ! Can't believe time is flying [emoji24] started to get scared! Can someone send me there preop diet? My dr didn't give me one but I figured it wouldn't hurt?

@deb2572 do you think it is from dehydration? So sorry to hear that! Hope you get better!

@mylighthouse thank you! Yeah I've been seeing it happen to people more and more lately I thought maybe the dehydration! Hope you feel better!

Hi everyone! I am still preop but I've heard a lot of people lately post op get UTI infections, does anybody know why this is? & is there anyway to prevent this? Also I don't know how to Reply back to someone's comment or add people or change my age on here lol maybe because I'm using my cell phone instead of a laptop??

I'm March 8th! The dr said I have to go in one week before for a preop appointment but he hasn't said anything about a liquid diet before hand? Maybe he will in my preop appointment [emoji47] Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I thought they did it to shrink your liver ? Since it is right by your stomach. I haven't been told about a liquid diet either I go in to see him one week before but he hasn't said anything about a preop diet besides to eat healthier Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks! Do you know what he is looking for in the chest X-ray ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So my doctor had me take some blood work before the surgery. But that is it! I've heard other surgeons have had EKG is done and all kinds of other things done before going into surgery I'm worried that maybe my Surgeon isn't doing enough? What are some requirements given by your surgeon that have to be done so they know you are ready for surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Everything said above! My doctor also told me walking 2 to 3 miles every day two weeks before my surgery has had good outcomes! I don't know where he got that from but I'm guessing the healthier you can be before the surgery the better. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
