Well I found out what the intermittent pain was from that I have been having. Apparently I have gall stones. Boooo!! I go see my surgeon on Thursday to discuss when to slice it out. Yeah!!

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way.  Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!

Out of curiosity, were you placed on medication post-op to prevent them?

No I don't think there is a med to prevent them. My doc said sometimes with rapid weight loss it happens.

There sure is.  It's called ursodiol and it all but eliminates the chance of developing gall stones in gastric bypass patients.

At the 600mg/day dosage, there was a 2% chance of devleoping stones.  My surgeon puts all patients on this for the first six months.

I agree, acckk!  I had mine out years ago.  Was not fun until the surgery.  BTW, surgeon said the RNY was no worse than having gall bladder removed.  I will admit that because I'm older, it seems this one is taking longer for me to get my energy back. 

Much luck to you!
