Gallbladder :(

Thanks- we actually have a family history of having gallstones and GB issues on my mothers side. She had hers out when she was in her early 40's due to having attacks.

They did an ultrasound last year and it was fine so it must have been the weight loss that caused it. I've eaten really well and stayed on plan.

Just annoying.

Gallbladder issues can crop up from rapid weight loss. It is not necessarily a symptom of a poor diet or eating off plan. My failed at less than two months out, so it wasn't due to me eating off plan.

My mother had hers out at 18, so hers also probably wasn't due to years of poor eating habits since she was a healthy weight and active.

I didn't see anything in the comments saying this had anything to do with noncompliance. I had my gallbladder out very soon after my RnY. Both my surgeons agreed it was due to rapid weight loss, not because I was noncompliant with a proper post op lifestyle and eating plan.

It was just luck of the draw.

I had my gallbladder removed in 2010. It was a breeze. Recovery was easy. You'll be great and feel much better without it.

I was another one that probably took about a week or so before I really felt better.  After hearing so many on here say it was so easy, it wasn't quite what I expected.  But I'm glad I had it done, and I really feel better now compared to how I did before.

I had mine done April 1st, had to wait to exercise for 2 weeks, and I was able to run a 5K on April 23rd.
