Good evening,

Hope all is well. My scheduled surgery is this Friday the 28th.

Had all my clearances done earlier this month and went for additional blood work and consent for the operation this evening. Turns out I have gallstones when we went over my soon from the 4th.

Being i have PCOS i associated the cramping and pain with that and nothing else. So found out today my gallbladder will be removed when my sleeve is done. Anybody with experience with this? I know lots of people say the hernia repair (which luckily I dont have) is the worst part. Is this going to be similar.

I'm just have quite a bit of anxiety about the whole thing! But any bit of information or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

I had my gall bladder removed laparoscopically. I didn't have any pain afterwards.

Thank you kindly for taking your time out to respond! I very much appreciate it.

@@Aranks I can't answer on the gallbladder but Good luck and I hope you have a speedy recovery!

@@Elode thank you so very much! Quite scary and exciting, it's so soon! Did you just have surgery yourself??

@@Aranks You're welcome and yes I did 3 weeks ago.

Had mine out back in 1973 (I was 21) when they still cut you half in two, and I was in the hospital for eleven days. Have not missed it since! I would think that if you have both of your surgeries at the same time, how covenient is that? One hospital stay and you are home and done. You won't miss that thing at all. Good luck with your surgery.

Good luck with the surgery! Look on the bright side, you get to have 2-in-1 instead of having them both done separately. That has to be a good thing!

All for the two in one. I had my sleeve surgery almost a year ago and my gallbladder came out last Thursday. Recovering just fine but wish I had been able to do it all at once!

Thank you all very much! I'm grateful it will be laparoscopic and that i dont need multiple surgeries. This is the first surgery I will have ever had. I just feel like I had mentally prepared myself for my sleeve that to find out something else three days prior sent me in a nervous tizzy!

What I am super excited about is getting to see pictures of my gallbladder and surgery at my first post open visit. Won't let me see my physical gallbladder! Haha
