GET PRE APPROVED **IF YOU STILL HAVE YOUR GALL BLADDER PAY ATTENTION****

[Carrie's Journey 130]

Dr. Cirangle had me taking Actigall twice a day for 6 months. I lost most of my weight at that point. I am a year out this month and I went to the ER 2 weeks ago for what turned out to be gallstones in the common bile duct (OUCH). I had a ton of stones, and had my gallbladder removed. I have my 1 year follow-up with Dr. Cirangle next week so I'm curious about what he'll say. I may have had stones long before the sleeve, and had no symptoms. Or I may have developed them after, regardless of the Actigall. Who knows. I'm just glad it's all over!

My doctor ran a test to see if I would have issues. I passed and got to keep my gall bladder. They guy in surgery right before me and subsequent roommate had his removed. He was up on his feet a day before I was.

If you still have your gall bladder and are thinking about this surgery' date=' consult with your Dr that is going to do your sleeve......IT IS PROVEN 1 out of 10 after the SLEEVE will have to have gall bladder surgery. #1, this can help you as he can remove the gall bladder and do the sleeve, your ins will cover the gall bladder and all you may have to cover is the sleeve surgery...if your ins does not cover the sleeve.............. DO NOT let them do the sleeve if you have your gall bladder, as YOU WILL HAVE to have gall bladder surgery in a month or two AFTER the sleeve, COMBINE THE TWO!!!!!! Chime in on all that have had the sleeve then had to go in and have gall bladder removed.................[/quote']
