I had my gall baldder out and some adhesions removed on Dec 31. Must be healing up. My stomach in a mass of itch! Almost looks like it did when I had the RNY. Got 3 rows of staples this time, The RNY was 6 little holes glued shut.

Awwwww!! Hate the healing itches!! Yikes on the staples!!

I was kind of pissed when I had my gall bladder outIt messed up my beautiful tummy tuck!! ...Ok, it didn't really mess it up, but the tummy tuck had removed some of the scars from my RNY and the gall bladder surgery put them right back!! LOL

Glad you are doing well! Your gallbladder wasn't laproscopic? Not fun! Healing itches aren't fun, but you know the routine! I am betting you will feel soooo much better without the gallbladder too. Mine made me sicker than I even realized! Once I had it out, I felt like a new woman! Hopefully you will feel like a new man, and not a woman!!! lol

it was laproscopic. I reckon it was cause they took the adhesions out of the other side while they were in there. I doono. made bigger holes this time.

lol. Well I am glad it was laproscopic! Should heal faster. Yeah maybe the adhesions did it but good to get them taken care of.
