Anyone else having their gall bladder out too?

Hi, I'm probably having my gall bladder out during my surgery. I already have pain and a gall stone. Is anyone else having their's out? My surgeon didn't say anything in particular about this affecting my recovery. Just wondering if anyone else had heard anything. Thanks all.

Hi,yes I am also having my gall bladder out I have not had any attacks but my ultra sound showed alot of stones so my Dr says out it comes while he does my surgery. He says it will not effect my recovery at all I won't even miss it. Besides I figure a couple more ounces gone couldn't hurt. Karen

hi, My Dr has already told me that they will request pre-auth for my gall bladder and he will remove it unless for some reason he can't get to it easily. I think of it as one less thing to have to go back for another time. Good luck!!!

I already had my gall bladder taken out in 1996. It was the BEST thing I'd ever had done, and was a piece of cake having it removed. I hadn't realized that I'd been having gall bladder "attacks" for the previous 10 years 'til I had the worst one, and it was just one notch above the others. Hida Scan showed one stone, and it was just dis-lodging from the duct during the scan. I had it removed by laparoscopy...I already have 4 little scars from that, will have 6 to 7 more from this, am thinking about charging some hotties to play "connect the dots/scars" when I drop the weight...HAHAH! BTW, I'm a sick pup, and I asked them to keep my gall stone for me. They did (my friend had "pebbles" that they kept for her and they're pretty...look like agates). My gall stone looks EXACTLY like a petrified olive with sugar-coating on the outside. Pretty interesting! I've read that quite often, post-WLS have problems with their gall bladders afterward and end up having them removed anyway. I don't remember why it happens. I'd opt to have it removed if mine wasn't already gone. Kimmer Queen of the Niners, Instigator to All Marchers, High Priestess of Giggles Zero-minus-29 days and counting!
