My surgeon took mine out while he was doing the gastric sleeve surgery. He said it was inflamed. I was glad he did.

Yes. I had my first attack about 6 months after VSG. I had it removed shortly after. I don't have any issues.

Yes. I started having acid reflux and sharp pain/nausea after eating at approximately 4 months post op. I am now 10 months post op and had my gallbladder removed last week. I feel so much better!

makes me wonder why they don't just do it as a precaution... it would rule out gallbladder right away and save time if a patient had complications

My thoughts exactly......they fix hernias during they surgery. Have to think positive, maybe mine wont give me any trouble. Fingers crossed.

Just had mine out last week, had stones . When you lose a lot of wt rapidly it can irritate the gallbladder. 10.5 months out and 90 pounds down.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
