Gall stones...anyone?

[jfc193 718]

Last week I had to have to my gallbladder removed due to severe pancreatitis.

I am still doing OK I am back down to 230 and the 100 pound mark.

I know that without my band I would be over 330 lbs.

Over this past weekend, I experienced more pain than I've ever felt. Turns out it was gall stones. (Now thinking back, I think I attibuted a couple attacks of my gall stones to the band.)

Now I'm up for surgery in the next couple weeks and I'm nervous about it.

I knew that the chances are higher with rapid weight loss. Perhaps I should have had more water!

It's been 5 months since the surgery (in Sept) and I'm wondering if anyone else has had gall bladder attacks and/or stones?
