Getting my gallbladder removed

[vbgirl264 28]

So after a couple weeks of issues my surgeon is going to remove my gallbladder as well as do a scope of my rny surgery and check my spleen. Turns out ct scan showed a cyst on the tip of my spleen. I'm about 4 months post op rny. How was recovery from gallbladder surgery?

Sorry to hear that you have to have surgery again. I had my gallbladder out a year and a half before my rny and I had more pain and felt worse then when I had my rny done. But then again everyone is different. Hope yours goes well. Good luck!!!

I had my gallbladder surgery exactly 2 months after my RNY. It was way worst than the RNY. But everyone 's pain level is different

My Gallbladder was removed the day before Thanksgiving several years ago before any WLS. Went into surgery at 3:30 PM released at 10:30 PM stopped at Hardee's to get a hamburger. Then the next was at Country Kitchen for Thanksgiving dinner. Back to work on Monday. Pain, if there was any, didn't seem to bother me.

Thanks everyone for the responses. Seems like its about 50/50. People have told me little to no pain but than I've also heard that the pain was worse than rny. I have a 2 year old son so I'm trying to figure out how long I may need help because my husband can only take off work the day of surgery.

I had two gallbladder attacks not knowing thats what it was. Never went to the doctor figuring I would get over it. My last one was mild and just happened to have a follow-up visit with my doctor a day later and I brought it up. My that afternoon when test results came back the nurse was calling me to see what surgeon I wanted to follow up with. The pain of the attack was far greater than my four major surgeries I've had. Will say I passed a kidney stone that was bad also. Just make sure you take your pain medication when you are suppose to, don't wait to have pain then take them.

I've had two c-sections and one gallbladder surgery and I can say that the gallbladder was waaaaaaay easier. I was up and at em the next day and back home taking care of the babies. I took it easy and kept a pillow over my tummy because my toddler was prone to jumping on me but other than that I don't remember having much pain or anything. I'll def take being knocked out for surgery over being awake for the whole thing...ugh that sucked.
