kll724 3,055 Posted July 30, 2012 It depends on your surgeon. I did not have those problems, so I can't say. My daughter had her gall balder removed several weeks before her lapband, tho'! I think whatever your surgeon's and your preference is. Best wishes, Karen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
