Hi @@Prada-Savassi, welcome to the forums :) . This has been answered in numerous threads, you may want to utilise the search feature and type in "gallbladder", it will bring up a number of threads which you can get a lot of information from :)

By the way, i have and i was 3 months after surgery when mine was removed.

Hello esskay 77,

Is the reason behind you having your Gall Bladder out, due to your Gastric Bypass Surgery?? I hope you don't mind me asking.

Have a great night. Prada

I don't know. I have heard that it is very common for wls people to have gall bladder issues. But I think I have had issues before the surgery but didn't know what it was.

Hi Prada I had my surgery on the 23 of Jan of this year and had my gallbladder removed 6 weeks after it is very common I've heard and also my doctor told me too

I had my gallbladder out 7 months to the day after my rny (last Thursday to be exact). I'm glad it started acting up because while my doc was in there he discovered some other things that didn't show up on my ct scan. I'm glad it went out

I had my gall bladder removed along with having my gastric bypass. My Dr said he wanted to be pro active, that he knew I would have to have it removed in the near future so why cut on me twice :-)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
