rebcal 32 Posted August 20, 2016 Hey guys.. I'm so happy with my weight loss about 65 lbs in 4 months. However, I had to have my gallbladder removed due to stones from rapid weight loss and now almost 2 weeks after GB surgery, i have continual pain in my lower abdomen and doc may think it's appendicitis. I was wondering if anyone else have had these surgeries one after the other. I didn't even think they were linked but I guess they're both prone to occur after a lot of weight loss.

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted August 20, 2016 I know rapid weight loss can impact the gallbladder. My guess is that the appendicitis is unrelated --- but, I could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MNovalis 93 Posted October 28, 2016 Luckily, I've already had my gall bladder removed prior to my sleeve. But I did just spend a week in the hospital trying to pass a rather oddly shaped kidney stone. Doc said that it was directly related to being dehydrated and all of the greek yogurt I had been consuming (calcium and protein!) But, I'd still do it all over again to achieve what I have in the past 3 months! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RNtih 1 Posted November 16, 2016 No but I read articles that said they can happen. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
