Question:
has anyone not had any complications; hernia, gallbladder problems, etc.?

I had my gallbladder taken out several years before my DS surgery, so never had to face that as a complication. For the rest of it, at 8 months post-op, I have had NO complications. No nausea beyond a few weeks post-op, no hernias, no weird pains, no vomiting, no deadly-stinky gas, no diarrhea. I joke with my surgeon that I am the poster child for a good recovery!

Hi, I had a vbg about 10 months ago. I have not had any of the complications you are talking about. The only time that I feel alittle nausea is if I eat a bite or two more than I am suppose to. Best of luck to you.

Part of my preop testing was having an ultrasound of my gallbladder. Since it was normal prior to surgery my surgeon left it alone. I am 15 months post-op Lap proximal RNY and have not had any complications.

I have had NO complications at all. My gall bladder was removed at the time of my WLS. I had distal rny 10 months ago. 155# lost, 30 to go.

I had a lap rny on 5/10/2001. I have had no complications. As a matter of fact, the only side effect I have had from my surgery is reaching goal! ;)

Me, me, me! No problems/complications whatsoever, if you don't count the increased occurance of abdominal gas, for which I use Gas-X several times/day, as prescribed by physician. If I didn't have an almost totally faded and un-noticable incision scar (surgery was almost 13 months ago) and get full on tiny amounts of food, I'd never know I'd had anything done to me, except I'm now at normal weight, having lost over 164 pounds, which never would have happened if the 'doc' hadn't done SOMETHING in there!

Oh yes, I have had complications. First the gallbladder about 4 months out, 6 months out a total hysterectomy, 13 months out and a hernia. You were not alone, sorry it took so long to have a comforting response.
