Oh wow we have the same surgery date!!!! You are doing what's best for you! It will be an emotional Rollercoaster, but in the end it will be all worth it. Our health is more important than any fear we will ever have! Good luck to you!

I have UMR, but it's through my spouse's employer, Cone Health, in NC. I have not had the surgery yet though. I'm still in the hoop-jumping process. Been poked, prodded, probed, and had to d this and that without having been approved yet.

allsmiles 43 reacted to KristenLe in Has anybody had problems with their gallbladder after the sleeve
No - it can be an annoyance but it's not anything that would make me reconsider surgery. You could still have gallbladder problems without surgery and removal could be more complicated if obese. I had my gallbladder removed years ago as an emergency but if I hadn't - I wouldn't even consider this as an issue. There's far more complications associated with obesity that concern me alot more. -

I have not had my sleeve yet but I had my gallbladder out many years ago. At the time I was doing Weight Watchers and had lost a measly 40 pounds. It was pretty painful, I was happy to have it removed.
Gallbladder issues can happen after any weight loss, it isn't just because of the surgery.
Some doctors will take the gallbladder out during WLS but most will not, it is not a problem that everyone has so they don't see the need.
Many people on here have reported going back and having their gallbladder removed after WLS.
A COUPLE of people on here have said their doctors have given them medication to protect their gallbladder after WLS. I have never heard if such a thing before though????
