No gallbladder. Surgeon removes them routinely since he said it ends up being removed around a year later anyway.
And yes, greasy food doesn't sit well at all!
Thanks for the carefully thought-out response.
Sorry you are having this trouble. Do you still have your gallbladder? Any time I've had diarrhea issues it was always related to poor food choices on my part. (Greasy or too many 'tols'.) I had my gallbladder removed during my first wls and ever since have had to be careful not eating very fatty foods. And funny thing is that I never had constipation, that is until I started taking the generic of Contrave. (Bupropion and Naltrexone.) Those meds combined with drastically less food volume has me taking a fiber supplement in the morning and a softener in the evening. That will be daily so long as I'm on this med combo.
I read in your reply that you may need a scoping to check for strictures, hope that won't be needed. Early in my post-op days I had to get a stricture stretched three times but after that everything has been fine. Oddly the only time I'm unable to get food down is when I'm under a lot of stress and heartache. In support group the nurse said that is a fairly common side effect and doesn't last long. I don't know about it being common but it usually only lasts a day.
Hope you get relief soon!
I hope your days get better. Get out and get some fresh air if you can.

I knew your pictures would be awesome and they are. What an exciting adventure. Congratulations on your "big win" on Wheel of Fortune. Nobody would watch with me because I always guessed the answers too quickly and could not keep quiet about it. I am sure it is a lot harder when you are actually doing it.
