Necessary to remove gallbladder?

if you have stones and they tell you it needs to come out- get it out. I was 10 months out and mine had stones and sludge and just had mine out last month.

you don't really want to go through a second surgery.

I had mine removed at the same time as my RNY and had no issues or "extra" pain at all from it. Just the normal side effects from removal which are honestly the same as dumping so I was avoiding those triggers anyway post-op.

I just had my gastric bypass 9/28/16 and I actually 'voted' to have my gallbladder removed during the surgery. 

Extreme weightloss of any kind can cause gallbladder problems, and a gallstone or gallbladder attack is the worst pain ever. I had an attack years and years ago, put me in the hospital on a morphine drip for a week, and my insurance at the time said I wasn't sick enough to have it removed (idiots!) it was so painful I literally couldn't sneeze. The pain when I inhaled would stop my sneeze. Couldn't eat, couldn't cough, nothing.

so when my ultrasound showed stones, I voted to have it removed. Your body continues to produce bile, but you have to be careful of your fat intake for about a year. And since I'm already on a restricted diet for my bypass it works for the gallbladder restriction too :)

so now I don't have to worry about a second surgery 10 months down the road.

This is really helpful and giving me a lot to think about. Thanks!

I'd kill the 2 birds.....chances of having problem with it after surgery are very high.
