I had my gallbladder removed Monday and boy has it kicked my butt! As bad if not worse recovery than lap band. I am so weak, no appetite, trying to eat but just don't feel like it. Had complications with surgery and had to spend the night in the hospital with a drainage tube and came home Tues late afternoon. Coming up on 6 months being banded and now this, I'm zapped!

Donna... well it is out now so you should have smooth sailing ahead. Just give yourself time to recover.

I had mine out I few years before my band, and ya it's a rougher recovery then the band. Give it a couple weeks. And walk just like you did with the band.

thanks everyone, yes I've been trying to walk around the house but yet so weak. I don't have much of an appetite yet I've gained 3 lbs since surgery, guess it could be fluid since I did have to spend the night in the hospital and have IV fluids. I'm not eating that much now that I'm home, go figure, puzzling.

Don't worry about the scale right now. Gas, fluids, swelling, etc will affect the scale. Focus on rest. You'll be back on your journey before long.

Take care.

Couldn't have said it better aj!
