I never thought to ask about this.... ughhh

I am referencing this post: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/surgtype-forums/LapBand/postdetail/170154.html?vc=0 I also had gallbladder surgery (laproscopically) in 1996. Could this affect my surgery also? I had never considered that it would have an impact. thanks for any info!

I had gallbladder surgery (lap) about one year before my WLS. I didn't have any problems. Just make sure your surgeon knows you had a previous surgery. I was extra lucky becasue I had the same surgeon for both. Miss Q

Melissa, I have never (knock on wood) had to open a patient just for the fact that they had previous gallbladder surgery. The adhesions are minimal, even from an open procedure. Dr. C

OMG..I had open gallbladder surgery back in the dark ages when they cut you from one side to the other. I don't care if you have to open me up....just get me that band ;) Cathy

Cathy, I had the same old fashioned gallbladder surgery. I am cut from stem to stern it seems. Dr. C. said he didn't have any problem. ANd I have my band. He will do you up just fine. YOU are in the greatest of hands. Best wishes to all Vicki in Indy Proud Patient of Dr. Trace Curry Lap Band 2/3/05 190/161.5/120 something Healthy will be just fine

Great Vicki! I know he'll do ok. I'm just getting a little jittery/excited all at once. BTW, congratulations on the great weightloss. Cathy
