Hi Lynn, I don't know how to contact you so this is the only passageway I found. Regarding the gallbladder, my PCM also suggested I have the gallbladder removed prior to WLS. I can really relate to your schedule of preop events. Lynn, Here is a question of concern I have, (sounds a tad bit trite), Did you experience any significant hair loss, and if so, how bad was it and at what stage out of the 2 major surgeries did it occur?
