Topic: Gallbladder and Appendix Gone
I thought this was funny, but the coordinator told me on our way to the hospital that the surgeon takes gallbladders out at surgery because it is almost guarranteed you'll have gallbladder problems with losing weight, then she said he'll take the appendix out if you want. The thinking is that if you are having stomach pains, you'll know right away that its the stomach and not the gallbladder or the appendix and you don't waste anytime with them. I just thought that was funny. So I'm gallbladder and appendix-less. lol.

Hi All.  I am scheduled on the 26th also!  I'm counting down now.  I start an all liquid diet 8 days prior to surgery.  I can't wait to start my transition!!  I feel really positive.  Oh...my surgeon seemed pleased that I don't have my gall bladder or appendix.  hehe

Remember when you went in your bowels were clean and empty. The shakes and other liquids come out mostly as urine. So you have hardly anything in your bowls even though you feel like you need to go but can't.

I put Mirolax and Benefiber and in  every shake. The Mirolax keep you regular and the Benefiber adds some bulk to what little you have inside of you. Benifiber come is in generic and it has no consistency until it gets to your bowls.

Check with your doctor just to be sure it is safe for you. Mine said it was okay but every doc is different.
