Hi everyone. So having my sleeve done in little over a week in Mexico. I have gallstones and have for a long time. They have never bothered me. I mentioned to my coordinator and she i should get the surgeon to do it for an extra $1000 while I'm getting my sleeve. What do you think? I'm gonna try to see my family dr before I go. Since it have never affected me what are the chances it will afterward? In Canada I don't have to pay to have my gallbladder removed. Is it worth the risk or should I just pay the $1000 to get it out at the same time as I get my sleeve

I asked to have mine out. They did an ultra-sound on me about two months before surgery and found a few gallstones. My surgeon suggested having it removed because due to rapid weight loss it could cause more gallstones and would need to have it removed at a later date.

Hi jmpc, I'm going to move this to a non-Vet forum area where everyone can answer it. This forum is the only one on this site that is for Vets only. (you are welcome to read here and can post questions and answers after 12 months out) thanks for understanding!
