RIP Mr. Gallbladder

Found out today that Mr. Gallbladder was not fond of my weight loss lifestyle.  So much to do before Friday's surgery.  Boy's 6th birthday tomorrow with a trip to Chuck E Cheese, but more importantly, I am expecting 50 people for his swim party on Saturday.  We shall see if the hubby can pull it all together while I direct from bedside.

Those who are still with their bile producing ally....don't ignore back pains!  It was my number one symptom.   

ouch. sorry you had to have it out. mine came out w/my surgery (planned it that way) and glad it did....doc said it was full of stones!!
hope hubby does ok being Martha Stewart!

Oh no!  I've been warned about that.  I sort of wish my surgeon would just take mine out preventatively during my RNY, but he says he doesn't do that unless an ultrasound shows that I already have gallstones, which it didn't. 

I had mine out a month ago. You will feel so much better. Mine was on an outpatient basis. I felt good after I had surgery. The next day felt like I wa**** by a truck. The following day I felt pretty normal. I think you will be surprised. This surgery was a piece of cake compared to the WLS. With WLS surgery I was off for 3 weeks. With Gall Bladder surgery I was off one day and that only because it was the only day my surgeon (who was the same as my WLS surgeon) performed Gall Bladder removal surgery.

 i go in saturday for an ultrasound. every time i eat or drink i get this horrible pain in the middle of my chest that goes through to my back in between my shoulder blades. it lasts for a couple mins up to like 30-60 mins. and when it gets bad i get a sour  stomach feeling/taste in mouth and feels like i'm going to throw up from the pain and "pressure" in the middle of my chest/back.

they think either gallbladder or ulcer... i am hoping its the gallbladder so i can get it out and not worry about it any more
