I am 5 months post op. I love my journey so far. SW - 219. CW 158. GW 130. The problem is I didn't have my gallbladder out. Because of the drastic weight loss, I now have gallstones and need surgery to remove my gallbladder. Tip here make sure they check your gallbladder and if you have any stones get it out during your sleeve.

Trust me I am so happy I had the sleeve and my only regret is not having them take out my gallbladder. Good luck!

Yup.... When I had my abdominal sonogram the radiologist told me to ask the surgeon to just "move over to the other side" and take out my gall bladder while she was in there. He said the gall stones were too big to ever pass. I really didn't have much issue with it. However, after the surgery the surgeon said it was a good thing she took it out because of the stones and I also had polyps in my GB. In addition she found a hiatal hernia and fixed that, too.... I had no complications from the surgery and feel great

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
