Gallbladder and lapband surgeries

I just had my gallbladder removed a month ago and I am still struggling. I still want my lapband. If anyone has the same experience, how long did you wait to have the lapband after gallbladder surgery? Please help!

    Well since the OP was asking about post-op Gall Bladder Surgery that is what I was responding to :rolleyes: If anyone wants a LB diet just check my signature line :ph34r:

    I had my gallbladder removed at the same time my band was placed, and I was never instructed to avoid those foods.....other than following my lap band post-op diet. I've known numerous people that have had gallbladder surgery, and do perfectly fine without any special limitations.
