The hospital for me too...

Last Wednesday night I started having horrible sharp pains where my stomach is. I rode out the night in much pain and called my surgeon on Thursday morning. I was so afraid it was something from the surgery! I spent all day Thursday in the ER and they determined I had gallstones...totally unrelated to WLS. Thursday night I was violently sick...it was horrible! Friday morning I felt better...they decided I had passed the stone but still wanted to remove my gallbladder. So Saturday morning I had surgery and I am now gallbladderless. I've been dragging since then...trying to regain energy...but I have no desire to eat, etc. Keep me in your thoughts...I'm fine...just feeling very sorry for myself. Jen

Wow, I'm sorry this happened Jen! What a bummer to go through pain, hospital, another surgery and all that dragging that we all remember after WLS. It will get better!! Hugs, Beth

Jen, So sorry to hear you had to have another surgery. Hope you are feeling better soon. Carly

Glad you are on the mend. Rapid weight loss is one of the causes of gall stones. So the WLS is an indirect cause of the stones. My doctor put me on Ursodiol for 6 months post op to keep me from forming gall stones. Janis

So sorry, Jen, sure hope you are feeling better soon. I had mine out when I was 21, sure happy that is one less worry. Take care and get well, Rosemary

Jen, You are in my thoughts! I am so sorry to hear about this. Hope you have a speedy recovery and start feeling better soon. Karen S.

Jen~ Sorry to hear about this painful experiance! At least your home and everything is better. I'll be praying for your energy to come back in full force! Kay

Jen, I am praying for you! I had gallstones before surgery and whoa! Was it painful! You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you, Julie

Jen~ Oh hun...I totally sympathize with you!!! Gallbladder attacks are worse then childbirth!!! I'm glad the docs figured it out fast...so many times I hear of people going through attack after attack for months and even years before they finally determine it is gallstones. Well at least you can be happy and know you will never experience that again. Dawn

I hope you have a quick recovery...Hang in there!!
