I was sleeved July 12. The past couple weeks I have been feeling pretty good, no pain, light exercise etc. Saturday morning I woke up with a stabbing pain right above my right hip. Thinking it was my appendix I went to the e.r. right by my house. They said my labs were fine and i wasnt dying and sent me home. Still in lots of pain, I went to the e.r in the next town over, about 30 mins away. I told the e.r. doc there I wanted to know why I hurt so bad. He felt my stomach and said something was wrong. He ordered ct scan for my appendix. Couldn't see much of my appendix so couldn't exactly rule that out. Then be ordered a gallbladder ultrasound. The just showed that it was really large and I had stones, which I knew already. So he called the surgeon and asked if I could be admitted and the surgeon did. I got to my room about 10pm and the surgeon was in to see me around 12:30am to talk to me. He said he would see how my labs looked in the morning. He came back around 8:30am and felt my stomach and decided it was a good idea to take it out. Surgery was at 9:30 yesterday morning. Everything went awesome. Surgeon came in later and told me it was a very good thing he had taken it out. My gallbladder had been blocked for quite awhile, so long that the bile in my gallbladder was clear. The inside membrane of my gallbladder had absorbed the pigment of the bile. He said that is extremely rare. I was released from hospital later that day. What a coincidence though that I had my sleeve on the 12th and gallbladder out a month later on the 12th.

Wow, sorry you had to go thru all that. Why didnt they take it out when they did your sleeve? Sure would have been easier on you! Best of luck for a speedy recovery!

Yeah the day of my sleeve I told my surgeon I was having some pain but he decided not to take it out. It would have been a lot better having them out at the same time. Oh well this is just a hurdle during my journey.

oh My! Well I'm glad your doing well now. I am so afraid of that happening to me. The 17th marks my 1 month sleeve anniversary. I haven't had any pains yet and hopefully I won't.

I hope nobody ever has to go through what I did. I had stones for years and I told my surgeon that so he should have just taken it out during my sleeve surgery. But its ok.

What do u think was worse. The sleeve surgery, or gallbladder? I'm scheduled 9/11.I had my gallbladder out 3 years ago which was a breeze compared to my c-sections. Wondering if it's similar to the sleeve ?

Had my gb out in February 2012, then sleeved last week.

The sleeve was much worse.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
