RNY and Gal Bladder

I went for my pre-op at the hospital today. I have lost 10 lbs since last Tuesday on this diet. I have also grown an inch. when the tech was getting my height she said you are 6'4", I said no I have always been 6'3" she said I am showing you as 6'4" she said must be the heal on your shoe, I had loafers on maybe 1/4" so maybe I have gone an inch over the last 20 years since I have been measured.

I also Found out they are  taking my gal bladder out Tuesday when they do my RNY. I knew it was a possibility if they ultrasound showed any problems with it. I never asked just thought since I did not hear other wise it was fine. The nurse said today no the ultra sound showed it needed to come out. That is fine with me, while you are in there go ahead and take it out and save me a trip at a later date. I was just wondering how this works with the healing from the surgery. I have not seen any post on this. Thanks for the help!

hey Boss man...I don;t think it's gonna make any difference one way or the other...in the healing it,...they are gonna be right in that area..and the big part of taking the GB out is the prep time...and you are already gonna be prepped...

so I say about 5 min more on the table...

someone might have more info than me...but that is my take on it

They took out my gall bladder during my surgery.  As far as I can tell, it has not made any difference.  You might want to ask what the side effects are.
