No weight loss after gallbladder surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi is anyone else having a really hard time losing weight after gallbladder surgery. The first weeks I did lose but my appetite was very low after the surgery. Now I am exercising a lot and haven't been able to lose a lb. 14 months out and about 135 lbs down but have like 20 to go.

My surgeon removed my gallbladder when the performed my sleeve. I've lost 44 pounds as of this morning since July 30, 58 pounds from highest weight. Sorry to hear that you have stopped losing. Stick with your plan and I'm sure you'll start losing again soon....those stalls are tough.

It likely don't really have anything to do with your gallbladder. From everything I have read and am also experiencing these last 20 lbs are very difficult and you have to fight for every one.

I will get stuck for weeks at a time and then lose a half pound then get stuck again for a couple of weeks.

I am now just 17 lbs shy of my ideal weight and of course anxious to get there. I realize it is going to come off at its own pace so I have decided to simply follow the plan and know that it will come off,

Good luck!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
