if you still have your gallbladder you should call your doc, weight loss can cause gallstones. Gallbladder attacks can range from mild to severe pain. If you do not have your gallbladder I would just FYI him as a new symptom. Good luck hope all is well.

I would go have your gallbladder checked.....I was having the same symptoms, mine were uncomfortable but not severe. I had some type of special scan done and my gallbladder 17%. And it was fine when I had surgery. I had mine taken out just about exactly 1 year after my band was put in.

Sounds exactly like your gall bladder to me! Just had mine out on Nov. 18th after being banded Aug 5th. Go get it check before it attacks you! My band surgeon took mine out for me, which made me feel so much better. My symptoms never got severe, but I wanted it out before they got that way!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
