gastric sleeve and gall stones



Recommended Posts

hi everyone. i just have a question about the gallbladder and gall stones. when the doctors looked around my stomach area , they found some gall stones. there were a lot of them apparently. i'm still in pain.. and the pain goes into my back and into my pelvic muscles/bone. im not sure if removing the gallbladder is the right idea. if i get it removed and i still have pain i would be very disappointment. any thoughts or words of encouragement out there?

I just had my gallbladder removed on Thur 3/30. It was same day surgery, easy compared to the sleeve. Just a little discomfort. I don't have the gallbladder pain on my side and back anymore, it's gone. My sleeve surgeon did the surgery.

I had mine removed a couple of years ago. It's really the only way to resolve having gallbladder attacks. I haven't had any pain or issues since.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
