Introduction and questions

Hi Scott,

Exactly my thoughts on this! I am sure many people kept it and have been fine. I would be keen to hear from VSGers who had some stones but chose not to remove the GB. How has it been for you?

Thanks

Really it's not been bad. I don't have any sudden sense of urgency except in the morning. I had the DS so I typically go to the bathroom 2 or 3 times in a row (back to back BMs) in the morning and that's about it. Pre WLS I was having 5 to 8 BMs a day...I guess that came with eating 6000 calories a day or whatever have you....but I really do not go to the bathroom anymore now than I did...unless of course I eat Tuna with Mayo. Have no idea why that combo gives me the SHARTS...but it does! I can eat tuna (in those flavor pouches), I can eat mayo on sandwiches, but if I combine tuna and mayo...I better plan to stay close to home!

I think you'll be better off looking on other websites for the answer ot your specific question. This site is not too active- i'm sure there must be surgery support forums for people that want to have their gall bladder removed.
