Had lap band 11/11/11 lost 30lbs no fill..... go for a fill and got told i need to have my gall bladder removed.....im in so much pain.....more incisions....jus needed to vent...

I hear ya !

If it matters at all,,,,,, the surgery is a lot better then it was years ago, when they opened you up like a fish !

I don't know what else to tell you.. I was laid up for a couple of weeks, and now they are back to work in a week.

So yes ! I know it's a bummer... But if it has to come out, "and I'm sure it does." Today's Medicine has really improved.

Good Health to you.

Great Job on the weight Loss..

You'll be in more pain if you don't have the surgery. Gallstones are caused by yo-yo dieting and if you don't have your gallbladder out, the attacks will get more painful. Its very similar to lap-band surgery, except they deflate the gallstone and remove it, rather than inserting the lapband

Thanks guys i should have mentioned i had the gall bladder removed on thurs 12/22 the pain was killing me....im still in a lil pain n lots of discomfort...but i guess it goes woth losing the weight...

hope fully this will get you back in a healthy mode and you will be able to continue that great weight loss you have going on!

Thanks for the encouragement guys...
