2 Surgeries at Once?

Anyone here had their gallbladder removed at the same time they had their band put in? If you have, how long did you stay in hospital? Please let me know, this is what I am facing and I am a bit nervous. Thanks in advance

I had a hernia in the esophogas repaired , guess thats why I had acid reflux, I also had a Liver Biopsy because Of a cyst on the liver, had it looked at and it was nothing to worry about, but I kept the Gall Bladder. They did ask me howeve before surgery if I still had a Gall Bladder but guess they choose to leave it.

hi - i was banded on 7/31 and also lost the gallbladder. i didn't go in expecting that - but i haven't had any noticable problems as a result of doing so. mine was on the wrong side anyway (who knew?), it's not that scary and all of it is done laproscopically, so you won't notice any additional scaring or anything. however, it did make the surgery an overnight stay vs. the same day discharge. good luck, and don't be scared
