Gallbladder: Does anyone suffer from gallbladder pain Pre-Op?

[tlong 0]

I have started having gallbladder pain in my upper right side. I had a sonogram last week and it found that I do have gallstones, but they weren't big enough to do anything about. Went to the doctor again yesterday and it was very tender to the touch and my dr. could feel them moving. I'm wondering if I'm going to have to have my gallbladder out before WLS. If my insurance company would hurry up then I might be able to have both taken out at the same time. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi,

I have gallstones to, I was in the emergency room twice before we discovered what it was. I find that after I eat a greasy meal or even beef that I have that horrible upper back and chest pain. My surgery is on 9/14/11 but my surgeon does not recommend removing the gallbladder at that time, he is also fixing my hiatal hernia. I found out in April that I had gallstones and have not had any flare ups since I cut out beef and greasy foods. Good Luck
