Topic: RE: Bariatric surgery/Removal of Gallbladder
It depends upon the individual surgeon. Mine refused to remove a perfectly healthy organ, but in your case it would definitely be different. It can't hurt to ask when you go in for your consultation!

Topic: Bariatric surgery/Removal of Gallbladder
Hello Everyone,
I am writing this in hope for some answers :) I have been having pain on and off for quit a few years, yesterday i was in so much pain that I was taken to the ER where they finally have done the proper tests to find out that i have three gallstones. Now I am in the pre-op stages of having bariatric surgery...i am hoping to get in at the latest April. I am switching from Kaiser to Blue Shield and I was just wondering if there is ANYONE out there that has had their surgery thru blue shield/John Muir that has had their gallbladder removed a the same time as their bariatrics surgery? Please advise. I seen a surgeon today at Kaiser and he told me that it is probably better to just wait and get both done at the same time but he was unable to tell me ofcourse if the surgeon would do both at the same time although he did tell me that a long time ago they would automatically remove your gallbladder at the same time as bariatrics surgery. I am hoping that someone out there has experienced this please help!!!
Thank you all very much in advance!

Topic: Nor Cal Losers Holiday Potluck, THIS SATURDAY!!!
Time to celebrate December with fellow "losers"
Who: Pre-op, post-op no-op, anyone who wants friendship and
camaraderie while on their weight loss journey and/or
maintaining their weight loss. This isn't a formal
support group meeting but a get together among friends who support
one another in their quest for better health. Of course it goes without
saying, our So Cal friends are always welcome too.
When: Sat. December 10th - 3:30 p.m.
Where: Barb and Ron's house in Concord
If you are planning to attend, please send me a PM and I will give you the address and phone number.
Please bring a dish to share and your beverage of choice.
Don't forget the White Elephant too. Time to do some "re-gifting" of an item that you don't need. Be sure they are wrapped with no tag and in good condition and not broken. Let the fun begin.
Hugs, Happy Holidays and Ho, Ho, Ho
