Wow ok I wanted someone to tell me who also had the surgery if metal clips are to be left in after. Thanks. I didn't really have any problems after except for greasy foods I cannot eat without problems now and a few other types of food. I did get the bile thing too and vomiting but not right away and I still have that happen once in awhile here depending on what I ate before I felt queasy. Good luck to you. I did get a bad rash on my stomach where they put the surgery prep on and they told me it was Iodine based and that I was probably allergic to the iodine. I had alot of pain for longer then normal I think and not sure why that was either.
