Went to my mandatory seminar last night and have my consult appt for Friday the 18th! Got two of my biggest questions answered and feeling VERY positive!!! Bring on the clearance appts!

I actually met my surgeon at the seminar and have an appt with him and the coordinator the 25th so I'll see what needs doing then

Busy times ahead!

My pap, mammogram and colonoscopy were all done in the last three months so √√√…

My preop appts included Upper GI, Gallbladder Ultrasound, Hida Scan, Chest X-Ray, EKG, Gastroenterologist, sleep Study, Psych Eval, and nutrition appointments. Had blood work done in March and pretty sure I'll need one more round.

What's a hida scan?

It shows how well your gallbladder is working. Some surgeons actually will remove the gallbladder during wls because of high frequency of gallstones with big weight loss. Mine doesn't bother with it but I already had mine out.

Yep, mine will likely be taken out. It doesn't have stones, but it's not functioning within normal limits, which I knew from a couple years ago. At first I was told it was under active but these latest results said it was over active! Either way, they said for me to expect it to get removed lol.
