When I was having my ultra sound done, the doc told me I have gallstones. Nothing hurts/bothers me at this time. Is this something my LB surgeon con remove? Should it be removed? Or is it a totally different doc who has to do it? Just curious, since he's already going in..

My own surgeon,also, id gallbladder surgery for my daughter, and fixed things for my son while he was doing lapband surgery for him. My daughter's gallbladder surgery was performed a few months before her lapband surgery, but he probably can and would do it at the same time, check with him/her to see if your surgeon will! Karen

I hope that your doctor will help you with this problem

I was banded in November, my band surgeon also did my gall bladder surgery 2 weeks ago. Band surgeons aren't always just band surgeons. Give him a call and check it out, you might be pleasantly surprised. Mine started out as a general surgeon then specialized in gastro, as well as lap band.

Thanks a lot, I'll be seeing him again next week, so I'll definitely ask him

I'm having my surgery tomorrow, and my surgeon will also remove my gallbladder. I have small stones that have been there for a long time, but I elected to have him take it out, to avoid a second surgery down the road. With stones, they're fine until on blocks a bile duct. Then it becomes an acute situation.
