Gallbladder and weight loss

[tfarr 270]

There's a good chance my gallbladder has to come out( I'm 8 mo post op). But I e been reading from different web sites it slows weightloss down dramatically. Is that true?

Interested to know too ????

I had mine out at the same time I had the VSG surgery (2 for 1 special, LOL). I've lost 35.2 pounds in 6 weeks. I know people that have had just their gall bladder removed and lost weight!

I had my gallbladder removed 18 years ago. So I hope it doesn't matter.

I had my gallbladder removed at the same time as sleeve surgery. I'm one weeks 2 days post-op. I gained 10 pounds from swelling and fluids. As of today I lost 13 pounds. So at least a 3 pound lost in one week....the rest was fluids and swelling. I'm happy with that. ???? Good Luck!!!

I had my gallbladder out a month after my sleeve surgery (not fun) and it had no impact on my weight loss other than delaying my return to normal activity levels. You should be fine 8 months out as long as you stick with your program :-)

Thank you for all your responses

Right now my program is a bit wacked

Uh, no. Not at all. (Where do these stories come from?!)

Had my gall bladder out 4 weeks after my VSG surgery.

Lost 10.4 pounds Month One post-VSG surgery.

Lost 11.8 pounds Month Two post-VSG surgery.

Well this theory is true for me, lost 83lbs in first 3 months after surgery, the gallbladder was then removed. Since it was removed its been 7 months and ive lost a further 52 lbs more. I still have A further 81 lbs to hit goal.

I had mine out 5 years ago. And am post op 6 weeks down 25 pounds. I don't see where it has effected me any

[tfarr 270]

I got the call back, next Friday at 9:45 it's getting removed. Yeah me lol

What can I expect?

Two days of being sore. A few new small incisions. And a few months of diarrhea while your body adapts to not having s gall bladder and the constant drip of bile from the liver. An easy surgery.
