waiting for gallbladder removal...anyone else do this post sleeve?

[KayCTheNewMe 50]

So they finally found gallstones at the er ..after 3 months of pain...on tuesday. I wont have surgery until this coming tuesday IF my surgeon finds them when he reviews the film. I have had straight pain since Sunday. I am curious how long people had to wait after finding the gallstones to get their gallbladder removed, and also what is recovery like? Ive literally not heard from my surgeon if hes reviewed the ultrasound, or if im even definitely on the schedule for surgery and im supposed to do pre op monday...ahh!! I hate not knowing anything for sure

Mine was just a couple days and a lovely prescription for oxycodone. It's like heaven when that thing gets out!

Just got it taken out on tuesday. I already feel better unfortunately my body isnt getting used to me going backwards on my diet so much. My surgeon said to do the same sort of post vsg diet (clear liquid to regular) and I hate liquid diet so I just went back to soft foods. I feel fine now tho minus nausea. Going back to work tomorrow regardless. But even surgery recovery feels better than having the damn thing in there lol

Had mine out yesterday. I am in pain. Barely tolerable pain in my shoulder

[KayCTheNewMe 50]

Same problem. It passed today finally for the most part. I keep.a heating pad on the shoulder, especially thru the night. It almost takes the pain fully away for me. The first night I made sure to take my meds, thru the night even, every 4 hours. It helps to relieve the pain, then the next morning I had cream of wheat with a half cap of Miralax to pass the gas and back up from taking pain meds that constipate you. It didnt take effect yesterday but it did today and I feel so much better. Make sure to walk around a bit too, but dont over due it. Thats what messed me up. Ended up riding the scooter thru the store today lol

I was better about taking the meds last night and feel a little better. I just got on the scale for the first time and even though i have barely eaten at all i haven't lost any weight. : (

You may actually gain a little from the swelling. I know I gained like 3lbs lol but inknow its not true weight. Just stick with diet and walking. Also taking some miralax will help with the problems the pain meds will cause going to the bathroom. I had mine tuesday and today is friday and I already feel so much better but its key to keep moving. I hope u feel better soon!
