Onederland and a bump in the road

Nov 12, 2010

This has been an event filled week. I had my 6 month check up wednesday and weighed 200 at that visit. My labs were all excellent except my serum iron was low. I also told my PA about some epigastric pain that I thought was heartburn and she thought was my gall bladder. I did not believe her and then went home that night and had the mother of all painful gall bladder attacks. I was too sick to go to work yesterday, but had an ultrasound that showed my gallbladder full of stones. I spent the day sucking on popsicles(afraid to eat) and this morning I weighed 197.5! Tough way to make it to onderland.Now I have surgery scheduled for next wednesday to remove my gall bladder:( Would this have happened without weight loss surgery? Bariatric patients have a 15% chance of having their gall bladder out in the 1st year following surgery. Am I still glad I had my sleeve? !00% glad! Sooooo, it's just a bump in the road.
