You will feel do much better. I also went awhile before my surgery having no attacks was wondering if I should just cancel then had a grand daddy attack omg. Needless to say it was out and directly post op I finally could breathe and felt so so much better. It honestly wasn't a bad surgery at all.

Yeah, i figure this is probably the calm before the storm. Surgery is going as planned :)

Getting my gallbladder removed Friday. I have not had pain the last two weeks. Kinda makes me second guess getting it out now???

DONT second guess it! Just have it removed. I went round and round with my former pcp about mine. Had everything from colonoscopy to hida scan. Finally when I said "please do another scan cuz I know its the gallbladder" after a huge, embarrassing attack in the cafeteria at work, did he agree. It was functioning at 7% and came out that week! My son also just had his out and it was very infected. It is such an easy surgery and you will feel so much better!

I had mine taken out 10 years ago. It was "sluggish" and they thought it was the root of all my acid reflex problems... Not sure what it would have been like for me now. It's not that bad what I can remember. You gone thru RNY. This should be a breeze.

Loving good will these days! It takes forever to scan the racks but it is usually a payoff when I find several sizes to try on and some of them fit!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
