christy38 17 Posted March 21, 2013 So I had an abdominal ultra sound today and they found a gallstone. Will this slow my whole process of getting WLS ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilbearzmom 584 Posted March 21, 2013 Probably not- they will probably take out your gall bladder during your sleeve surgery. That's what they did with me. Believe me, I am so glad they did. Saved me from having to go through a second surgery later. -Kendra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted March 21, 2013 No it won't slow your weight loss. Is it painful? if so, they will take it out.....If not, it's not a problem. But weight will continue to come off with a healthy diet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magpie30 187 Posted March 21, 2013 most people have gall stones, i can't forsee it being an issue unless it begins to give you pain. I was going to just have mine out with my surgery ( i was having very painful attacks), but they got to bad and i had my gallbladder removed a few months before my sleeve.

LINDANACK 15 Posted March 21, 2013 What few people realize is that when we are born, we begin to decline in health. Depending on how well we nourish our bodies, and how well we were nourished in-vetro will determine how fast we decline. Symtoms begin to display themselves such as gallstones, and many more other fallings. These are all indications that we are in need of solutions to improve our health. Having gallstones shows the doctor that your body is showing signs of breaking down and you need treatment, new diet, and a healthier lifestyle. You won't be rejected.
