UsernameTaken 283 Posted January 11, 2016 So I have been very good for past few weeks on my insurance required diet (month1 of 3) but recently I started noticing pain under my right rib radiating to side and to the back, especially after I eat meat. One night few weeks ago it was really bad after I ate something fattier for dinner. I am going to see my surgeon next week to empty my band due to all of the heartburn I'm having, but will also bring this up... Have you had your gallbladder removed prior or during revision surgery?

cstew21 10 Posted January 11, 2016 I had mine removed when I had my lapband. It was miserable. I felt so much better when it was taken out. I was constantly sick and couldn't eat anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grandmaofone 411 Posted January 12, 2016 I had sleeve done on June 16, 2015. Gallbladder removed 12-29-15, had the same pain as you have described, but I don't eat enough for it to have hurt after I eat. Mine was really bad when exercising, it would start on ribs and than go to side and back. By the time I was done I was holding my side. They took out a stone the size of a manderian orange and a ton of smaller stones. My gallbadder was twice the normal size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
