I had my gallbladder removed before I had bypass. My pain was all on the right side, just under the ribcage. It was a constant aching, but when I ate it was a sharp pain that made me feel like I couldn't breathe! Some people get the pain into their back area too. Get it checked out if you aren't sure! My son waited and ended up in the hospital for days with a diseased yucky gallbladder!

Thanks!!! I'm def gonna look into it but my pain is lower than that.

Had an injection on Thursday. Still in pain but it takes some days for it to work, IF it is going to. Fingers crossed! Spent yesterday with my great nephews. They are now too heavy for me to carry around so I just rock and snuggle. Go back to the spine surgeon in three weeks for the next steps! Looking to plan a little vacation to see ajustice!

Wow, we all need to feel better! Crud, moving craziness, more surgeries, hospitalization. We're all a mess! Lol. I'm seeing a surgeon for my ear tomorrow, to see if brain surgery will help...yikes! I'm also having weird neurological symptoms like slurring words numbness, etc. Lots of questions. MS? Lyme disease? Lupus? I need a health advocate...doctors are stupid, lol. Prayers we all get better soon.

Weight is pretty stable at 174. I'm ok with that, as long as I don't gain!

Wow keep me posted on what is going on! Thats some serious stuff but if you have a great trusted surgeon that can help, it may be worth it. Great job on the weight! I can't get to onderland for the life of me! Was 200.3 on Sunday and today was 203.4. I just don't get it and it's frustrating at hell! I know I'm retaining some Water cuz I wake up puffy. Want to head out for a good walk but leg is hurting so bad today. Frustrating beyond belief but I keep hanging in there! Good luck April friends!! Love you all!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
