Sheri,

I developed gallstones and am having my gallbladder out on November 9. I don't think I have any symptoms, but surgeon says gallstones are bad news for RNY patients.

What symptoms do you have?

I am anxious to see how you feel after surgery because I will be there two days later.

My surgeon said I will be sore for a few days and then be fine. He said that there will be no problems for me because I am already on a low fat diet.

I hope you let me know how things go Monday.

Real life begins where your comfort zone ends

Gall stones can be more dangerous because you can get a stone blocking your cystic duct . My symptoms were pain and nausea after eating, a gnawing hunger pain and my stomach bloats very large after eating . I also have a headache daily but I'm not sure that is related. I will post after Monday and let you know what I feel like. Good luck with your removal !

Good luck today. I'm just sore but nothing compared to the bypass surgery. Nothing has really upset my tummy yet... hope everything goes smoothly for you today
