I am in the hosptial



Recommended Posts

I've been having gall bladder problems for a couple of months. I was trying to hold out until January since I have $1,000 deductible. Last night I was in so much pain, I had to go to the ER.

It turns out the gall stones blocked a duct and now I have

pancreatitis. The only thing that fixes that is nothing by mouth until further notice. I guess I will be losing that last 5 lbs that is so hard to lose.

I would imagine I will be having surgery sometime this week.:thumbup1:

I was wondering where the heck you ran off to, and now I know ! ! ! I'll keep you in my thoughts, and let us know what's going on with you. I wonder if this is what's been causing all that gas and discomfort.

I think so. People have told me that the gas was probably related to gall stones. It would be really good to get rid of that embarrassing gas!

Daisy,

I just had my gallbladder "coming out party" on 11/2/09. You're going to feel so much better when it's out. I think my energy improved after surgery. I gave up all green tea on the morning of my surgery and I have an abundance of energy now.

My thoughts are with you!

Thank you! I can't wait to get it over with.

Now I am worried about going 3-4 days with no Protein. My hair started falling out like crazy 4 months post op and I can't afford to lose anymore! Everyone always says make sure to get in your Protein so you don't lose hair.< /strong>

Daisy-

I'm so sorry you're going through this, but so happy you're getting it treated! Before I had my gallbladder removed, I was in constant pain. You will feel like a brand new woman immediately! Next to getting sleeved, it was the best thing I did for myself.

Good luck, and you are in my prayers!

Hi Daisy, I too am sorry that you are going through this ordeal. Having the gallbladder out will be a good thing, but going through it may be rough. I hope and pray the surgery goes smoothly for you and as far as the Protein goes you can make up for it as soon as you are able. God be with you every step of the way.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
