I didn't have gb removal but had other 3 as out patient. They gave me an anti nausea patch to wear as well as pills. Just make sure you get all care instructions before the procedure so you can ask questions. Right before and then after surgery isn't good as usually you can't really focus on the info.

Mrsinto- I haven't had a gall bladder for about 13 years. Because of this I've had an issue with bile in my stomach. I'm not a person that really gets nausea. I think everyone has their own rate at which they heal. I was in the hospital for 2 nights but if I didn't stay I feel like I would Have been readmitted due to dehydration. Basically I'm saying listen to your

Body, everyone is different.

Congrats! That must help to get through it all, knowing the weight is coming off steadily.

Draven - I would LOVE to hear how you've been doing over the past months since your surgery. Any complications (my biggest fear considering plication+band). How was the weight loss over the first few months? How many (if any) fills so far? I guess I have a lot of questions <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />

I love my band with plication. Banded Nov 6 2012. Down 65 lbs. Good luck.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
