I believe any general surgeon can perform gall bladder surgery. When you call the hospital, they'll direct you to the right person.

My gallbladder and RNY were done at the same time by a general surgeon.

Cholecystectomies are usually done by a general surgeon.

my gallbladder was removed laproscopically by an internist 10 years ago..mine was an emergency situation though.i have heard having it taken out during wls is a good idea..maybe talking to your doctor about it would be a good idea.good luck..
