My gallbladder surgery was so much worse compared to my sleeve surgery! I had gallbladder removed 6 months prior to sleeve surgery. So glad it was done then and not around the same time! I'd be in bad shape! Hope you get better soon!

My doctor gave me actigall to take for several months after surgery to prevent gall bladder from going bad. The chance for it going bad without the meds was like %85 and it is reduced to %5 when taking the meds

How did your body recover from back to back surgeries? I have pancreatitis and an enlarged duct bc a stone tried to pass. They want to remove my gall bladder, but need to make sure my pancreas returns to normal before doing so. I'm totally annoyed that I have to have yet another surgery. I guess I'm scared too.

I had my sleeve 6/10.

I had the same exact thing happen to me. Stone got lose and I had to wait 2 days until they could do surgery because my levels had to go down. I have to admit having my gallbladder taken out was worse than being sleeved. The gas seemed to stay around with me. With my sleeve the gas I guess left me pretty fast. Good luck and hope you don't have too much pain and have a speedy recovery!

Wow I never realized there was a medicine for your gallbladder, I just looked up the stats on the actigall and I am totally going to ask my dr ahead of time.

I hope you get feeling better, that was a double whammy for you!

I was terribly scared, sick and just tired of it. Happened so fast sick in Sunday took it out on Wednesday. The gall bladder surgery was far worse than my sleeve same thing with the gas and nauseous for days. On the recovery now.

I asked my surgeon specifically at my preop visit about if he would remove gall bladder during sleeve. He said no. Needing it removed happens in about half of patients, so 50/50 odds were not good enough to remove at the same time. Then I asked about the meds and he said you'd have to be on them forever, or you're just delaying the inevitable. Unless you're in the lucky 50%...

      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?
