Okay can someone please tell me if you must have your gallbladder removed during the RNY? I was told by a friend of a friend 
that the only way to do the surgery was to have this removed also she herself never had the surgery but is a RN.
Also is it common to get (this is gross)
alot of gas when taking the Medifast? I am not on it yet but was told this is a common side effect.
You guys are the best thanks for the information.

No, you don't have to have your gallbladder removed during the RNY. I know if you have stones ahead of time they might require you to have it out beforehand or during. I have gallbladder issues but they don't think I have stones (I'll probably be checked before the surgery). They said I might have to have it out later on because change in diet really affects the gallbladder to where it might create stones at some point.
Not familiar with the Medifast though. creeklady
I never had any trouble with gallbladder, but prior to surgery I did have ultrasound just to be sure. So I didn't have my bladder removed.
What you need to do is research every bid of infomation that is for the type of surgery you are preparing for and of course speak with your Dr about your concerns.
Some people who haven't had the surgery appear to know all the answers, I'm not saying this to be mean, but you need to not listen and gather info from groups, your DR and the people who are involved with your surgery planning Good luck in your plans
