11 months out -5 pounds under goal and Gallbladder attacks

Dec 02, 2011

Today I officially hit 150!!!  150.4 actually - never in my wildest dreams did I think I would succeed at this surgery!  Praise be to God!

On another note - I had an ultrasound today that confirms what I already suspected - I have gallstones.  Several large ones in my gallbladder and a couple lodged in a bile duct leading to the liver.  I have a surgical consult scheduled for Monday - my DR wants me to get it removed asap - My AST/ALT levels are sky high 330 and 570 - my bilirubin levels are high - all points to gallbladder.  And the darn pain is unbelieveable!  OMG these gotta go!

I knew going into this surgery that GB attacks and stones was pretty common in VSG and weightloss patients - of course I never considered it could happen to me - but I will take the good (150) with the bad!  God does not give you more than you can handle!  And I wonder what the gallbladder weights???  Perhaps I will dip into the 140's with its removal - lol!
