You can check out gallbladderattack.com for what to eat or drink that is calming for your gallbladder in the meantime.

They have been helping me so much.

Im 2 months post op RnY surgery. I had an ultrasound done on Friday on Gallbladder. They called same day to say I have Sludge in the GB. I have an appointment this Wednesday to discuss the possibility of having it removed. I'm in a lot of pain and nausea and cannot eat. I am wondering if anyone else is having the problems we are having. I had Hiatal Hernia fixed during wls.

check out www.realself.com There are a lot of patient reviews in there - of all kinds of doctors, but the majority are plastic surgeons. Make a list of all the plastic surgeons in your area, and then go to their Web sites and see if you can tell if a majority of their work is doing body contouring for massive weight loss patients. And check all the reviews you can find, too. Then narrow it down to 3-5 surgeons and schedule consults with them.

I don't know of anyone off hand who specializes in it in St Louis (but then, I wasn't looking in that area), but make sure the person at minimum does a boatload of them. It's a complicated subspecialty, so you want someone who does a lot of these things, not just three or four times a year.

Was it a hernia? Just curious because I have had a few since my gastric BP and lincenberg tummy tuck.

I haven't had plastics yet, but absolutely wish you smooth sailing, a quick recovery, and a fantastic result! Is your surgeon very experienced in body contouring post-massive weight loss? Best of luck to you, and please report back!

Topic: Plastic surgery recommendation

Hello

Wonder if anyone has positive experience and recommendations regarding plastic surgery near Peterborough Ontario. My Doctor is happy to refer me but does not have any connection to a surgeon he feels comfortable recommending.

Thanks
