I had gallstones 2 months post op. They were giving me a lot of trouble. I couldn't get in touch with bypass doctor so I went through my PCP. I went to the ER the night of Jan 28th (2 months post op exactly). They took my gallbladder out Jan 30th. Surgeon said that the gallbladder should have came out when I had the bypass! My gallstones were in the opening duct of my gallbladder. Where are yours?

Yes ! I was having trouble with my gallbladder and had to have it removed. I did have the ultrasound before surgery and it was negititve. anyway almost 6 months to the day I had it removed. Sandy

My surgeon took my gallbladder out at the time of my DS, saying that most people develop problems with it after weight-loss surgery, even if they never had problems before. He also took out my appendix. Carolyn

My doctor found gallstones when I was a little over 5 months out. He said my gall bladder is coming out. I am scheduled for surgery on the 7th of June. I have only had one major gall bladder attack and maybe a few twinges of pain here and there but I would much rather just get it out now and get it over with. no sense in allowing the pain to continue to keep happening. Good luck.
