Has anybody had problems with their gallbladder after the sleeve

What are symptoms of gallbladder problems?

Depends, if you have gallstones you'll definitely know if one tries to pass because it's excruciating pain, but before then (for me at least) no symptoms. I also had an inflamed gallbladder before the stones and that was different because it was pain in my back and shoulders, tolerable but very uncomfortable.

I took the medication religiously and had my gallbladder taken out one year after my vsg. I probably had gallstones before...

I had to have mine removed after surgery. It was three years after my sleeve

I had rny gastric bypass done 8 months ago. Just had my gallbladder removed two days ago. For me, symptoms were sharp stabbing pains in my upper right abdomen and nausea/vomiting. My surgeon said that the better you do with wls, the more likely you are to have trouble with your gallbladder. Because my gallbladder surgery was just two days ago, I'm in some pain now. I have four new incisions on my belly. It certainly has not made me regret having weight loss surgery, though.

I had my gallbladder removed and it took several ER visits and one 911 call bf i was diagnosed. TBH any longer and I would have died. Everything is fine with it now

I had a big gallstone before surgery, I had the sleeve done a year and a half ago and haven't had a problem since. Fingers crossed but I know eventually it'll probably have to come out

My gallbladder was filled with thousands of stones and couple were in the duct. So i had two procedures. Good luck! It will be fine

Anyone not had their gallbladder removed after sleeve surgery? If yes how long ago for surgery?
