Has anyone else had there gall bladder removed after being banded??, I've been having extreme attacks for a week now I go in tomorrow morning to have it out as my Dr said rapid weight loss causes this.. I'm almost 8 weeks post OP and down 45 since surg 65 with my pre OP diet. Only thing I'm really worried about is having those gas pains again,:/ well they unfill my band?

Its in the right upper quadrant area its a sharp Pain that radiates into my back and shoulder and it makes me sick to my stomach and throw up. I eat very healthy no fat at all and when my surgeon sent me too the er a few says ago my gall bladder was extremely dialated full of sludge and a stone so he scheduled me for surgery right away as it can be damaging to the band if not taken out.. Call your surgeon and let them know what's going on they'll prob take it out. My Dr said once it starts it doesn't stop due to the rapid weight loss... Good luck girly hope you get it taken care of.. I'll be so much happier once its out living in constant pain the past week has been hell :(

I was banded 8/1/2012 and just had my gallbladder out on 10/5. In my opinion, I found the recovery much easier than the band.

Nope, no unfill, just 4 more incisions in addtion to the 5 from band surgery. Also, the gas pains were nothing compared to band surgery.

Once the gall bladder is gone the pains should go as well. Though when I was younger (I had it out 24 years ago) I sometimes had phantom pain during PMS. Not sure why but they only came during PMS.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
