Is gallbladder problems commen after wls?
Yes. the surgeon usually has you take something to make your gallbladder happy after surgery for a while. I can't remember what it was..Acti-gall I think?
Anyway, I had some problems with my gallbladder recently cuz I was eating too much fat and then alcohol (it was in the form of nyquill) and so I had a pretty mild gallbladder attack that felt like killer gas, waves of pain and it had me on the floor rolling around in the middle of the night for about an hour and then done..
I looked up a gallbladder cleansing diet and added some flax seed, more veggies, flax oil and went to have it checked..in the week that it took to get in to see the doctor and have an ultra sound of my gallbladder, it had cleared up. Needless to say, I eat at least a half a medium apple a day, sometimes twice a day and lower fat than I'd been doing before.

Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!
