Well Boys and Girls I got home from the hospital on tuesday night..I had a pain attack in my abdomen on Thursday...Went to the hospital on Saturday. It ended up being gall stones!!! You wanna talk about painful..wowers...But DR. Irgau to the rescue...He came in and did the surgery and I was in minimal pain...The only problem was now my abdomen looks like swiss cheese..lol ...But just a bit of advise for those of you post op...watch your fat intake...it could cause gall stones..Well Talk to everyone later...

Good grief. We are like the walking wounded around here. At least when the problems arise our doctors rock. I just had mine out 3 weeks ago too plus they found an intestinal hernia. Nikki had that too I think the begining of May. The skin heals fast - swiss cheese be gone! Hope you are back to feeling 100% in no time. Take it easy.

Hey Clint! I have been meaning to post asking where you've been. Sorry to hear about the gall bladder problem but glad the doc fixed you up. Hope to see you at the July PMRI! Linda

Hi Clint! I know how bad the gall stones can be - I had my gall bladder removed prior to my WLS. I know you'll begin to feel better and better and stronger every day. Good to see you posting again! ((hugs)) Carla

Clint, I remember those pains, I had my gallbladder out when I was 14. The surgery was the big cut. So feel fortunate you have good doctors and its all gone you will never have to experience that again.
