ROBERT: Yes, I had my gallbladder removed at the time of my WLS. As far as I know, it didn't affect my recovery at all. I had an Open RNY and was in the hospital for 5 days, which was standard for my doctor with out without a gallbladder removal. BTW, I opted for the removal even though mine appeared healthy; it wasn't something I wanted to possibly deal with later down the road. Hope that helps!

Hello Robert - <b>Congratulations</b> on your upcoming surgery (not that we're counting or anything, but it's now 7 days and 4 hours, hehehehe)!   You'll find the changes that follow, nothing short of a miracle. For 20 years I prayed and hoped for a "second chance" in life to be healthier and thinner - I never thought I would get that chance, but I did, and now <u>so will you</u>.  It's been 8 months since my surgery and Ive lost 150lbs, 50 more to goal. My humble advice?  Walk as much as possible after surgery.  As your body begins to heal make sure to get in your protein, even if it means plugging your nose and chugging back the protein drinks in baby [pouch] gulps.  Vitamins need to be chopped, minced or crushed... whatever it takes to get them in daily, no exceptions, <u>YOU are worth it.</u>   Also, let's not forget your new best(est) friend, water.  It is SO important to get your minimum 64 oz in daily. One final thing, <b>CELEBRATE</b> all the special moments along the way, big or small.  Too many people focus only on <i>numbers</i>, ie. pounds lost.  There are so many "moments" to look forward to and embrace on this journey - don't let any of them slip by.   Enjoy your new healthier life, you've more then earned it!!    <i>NOTHING tastes as good as thin feels!! </i> ....Hugs and smiles : )
