28 weeks post op
down 3 lbs this week to 195.8 (glad to have stayed the same as before I went away)
Happy 1st Day of November everyone! Roz, I hop all is well with your DH! Well I had a great weekend away but I am happy to have slept in my own bed last night and get back into a routine. Road trips are not as fun/easy when you can't just pull into any fast food joint you see! I did have my cooler packed with good snacks and such but that gets a little boring.
Anyway, back at it today. Going to be unseasonably warm so a great day to get out for a walk at lunch. I have an assignment due on Monday so I really need to get working on it, I'm just so not interested.
Here's the plan
B - 1 egg, 1 slice cheese
S - 1/2 lrg Wendy's chili (leftover from said road trip)
L - 4 oz meatloaf
S - 2 deli turkey and a hunk of cheese (probably more cheese than I should eat, thanks to the American packaging, may only eat half)
D - shepperds pie
S - premier protein
Total Cal - 1017, Carbs 45, Protein 110
Did 3.2 kms at lunch! That's only about 4500 steps, so I will have to get out for another walk this evening!.
Hope you're all having a great day!

I think you'll be better off looking on other websites for the answer ot your specific question. This site is not too active- i'm sure there must be surgery support forums for people that want to have their gall bladder removed.

Hi Scott,
Exactly my thoughts on this! I am sure many people kept it and have been fine. I would be keen to hear from VSGers who had some stones but chose not to remove the GB. How has it been for you?
Thanks

GB and Kidneys are.2 very different organs. I know what you are saying-but you can live without your GB, but you cannot live without your kidneys. Also a Kidney stone-while painful typically can be resolved through non invasive means. GB stones can clog up your bile duct...which can lead to pancreatis...which is VERY Painful and very dangerous.
But you do have a point. Many people thought like you did and kept their GBs. I'm sure most of them have been fine- and the ones that have not-posted here...so you kind of get a "false" impression that everyone that keeps their GB is going to have to have it removed.
I think these are questions for your WLS....and you still have time to get a 2nd opinion- so you can talk to another surgeon as well.
