"Yes. Gallbladder.
And me. Went well, no painkillers required"
Yeah still think I took a few pain killers but I'm a man, and you know how we suffer with the dreaded man flu.
Felt like being stabbed afterwards but recovery very quick. |

I think I was in that much pain before I had the op, anything after was a bonus so I was probably still high from the drugs  |

"Gallbladder for me.
Weirdly I am going to have the ablation but as an outpatient, no keyhole mentioned  "
Be careful with ablation, it can cause problems down the line |

I didn’t have a high enough BMI for NHS and didn’t even consider it. The system in U.K. doesn’t work - to go on the pre-list you have to go on their diet for 2 years and then wait (which after Covid delays will probably never happen) I went to a fabulous private hospital in Turkey, with full A and E and ICU. Cleanest place I have ever seen and the Drs are highly skilled and specialists. You stay in hospital for 1 week - cost me £2600 plus air flights. I have lost 4.5 stone and got about 3/4 stone left to get to my target. Best money I ever spent. |

Yeah I’ve just had my dietician referral through. My bmi is high for my height and with added endocrine issues I should be a fairly high priority but we shall see. I know you’ve got to jump through hoops. Would you mind sending me a message about your surgeon/hospital/ etc.
Obviously travel is a pain with Covid at the min but it’s something worth considering for sure x |

"Wow so many people having gallstone issues "
The cases of gallstones increases with weight ... as the population gains weight the cases of gallstones also increases unfortunately |

Also use of the combined oral contraceptives increases the risk ... |

Interestingly, a lady I went to uni with, who is absolutely miniscule and petite (size 4-6) recently needed gallstone surgery. I have no idea about her use of contraceptives, but I must say I was surprised when she said why she was going to hospital. Obviously one person does not make a rule or trend, but still, I was surprised. |

is there still room for one more on the gallbladder bus?!
It was keyhole surgury, but my scars say otherwise (although, I have seen the scars of a non-keyhole gallbladder removal and they look like the op was done by the dude that fucked up Mel Gibson at the end of Braveheart!) |

Can’t send you a message as outside your age range. The hospital is called Irmet Hospital in Istanbul. They have three Facebook groups you can join - one for weight loss surgery, one for plastic surgery and one for nutritional advice for after wls. |

Rapid weight LOSS also causes it too, it's tricky to avoid if you're a bit bigger and trying to lose some weight! |

This happened to my friend. She was on some fad diet rapidly losing. Time and time again until she messed up herself and was in awful pain. I didnt know there was a link? Thankfully sorted now but waiting through covid time and keeping weight off for surgery was tough. |
