I hear ALOT of bypassers needing to get their gallbladder removed. Is this something more than likely we all will need to get done? Always wondered about that. Guess I will ask my surgeon about that .

I had mine out 13 years ago, but it is a big concern with a lot of doctors. My friend still has hers and had to take these insanely large pills for her gallbladder to protect against complications with it.

Anyone else feel like they’re in their last month of pregnancy? I started this process back in Dec, it’s been a long time coming. Anxious for the arrival of my new “baby” sleeve!

Yes, I feel exactly like that! Like to close but so far. Times seems to have slowed because you're anxiously waiting! I am so excited I want to move time forward.

@newmebithebypass My pre op diet is actually one of the easier ones ive seen. I get a Protein Shake for Breakfast, Protein Bar for lunch, 3 oz of lean meat and salad with 1 serving of fat free dressing and 6 unsalted crackers, for dinner. I can have sugar free Jello and popsicles in between if i get hungry. I start mine Aug 14th.

The 3 weeks prior I can basically have anything as long as it has less than 5 grams of sugar and contains zero flour other than that I get all the meat veggies stuff like that I even get things like halo top ice cream and as long as I stick to a single serving dark chocolate or Sugar Free Chocolate

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      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!!
