Another surgery - lucky me!

Aug 19, 2010

Today I am down 87lbs...of course I want more but when I look back over the last few months, I am so grateful that I have slowed down.  Im not digging the skin wrinkles!  I have had a lot of pain the past two weeks in my upper right abdomen under my rib cage.  I went in to see the doctor and he was pretty sure that it was my gall bladder.  I went for an ultrasound last Thursday and was set up with my surgeon right away on Friday.  Yesterday they called and surgery is on Monday!  Hot damn they move fast!!  I am beyond greatful though bc I have never had this kind of pain before.  I have a "few" gall stones so they are removing the gall bladder and at the same time doing an endoscopy to check for any ulcers and my band positioning.  Maybe this surgery will help me lose the last 23lbs!  lol  

P.S. to anyone who may read this...apparently when you lose really fast, gall bladder surgery is likely.  Just FYI. My surgeon said that he normally has this happen with banders, that it is typically bypass patients.  Go me!!
