54Shirley 105 Posted December 26, 2011 I hear ya ! If it matters at all,,,,,, the surgery is a lot better then it was years ago, when they opened you up like a fish ! I don't know what else to tell you.. I was laid up for a couple of weeks, and now they are back to work in a week. So yes ! I know it's a bummer... But if it has to come out, "and I'm sure it does." Today's Medicine has really improved. Good Health to you. Shirley. Great Job on the weight Loss.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandybraman 18 Posted December 26, 2011 You'll be in more pain if you don't have the surgery. Gallstones are caused by yo-yo dieting and if you don't have your gallbladder out, the attacks will get more painful. Its very similar to lap-band surgery, except they deflate the gallstone and remove it, rather than inserting the lapband Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
