I have an appointment with my surgeon on Tuesday... I have been having horrible pain on my right side complete with symptoms of a gallbladder attack... I also know it is very common after Wls especially if you lost weight rapidly to have your gallbladder removed... Who had gone through this process and how soon after being banded? This may seem petty to some but also did you have to have your band emptied for this and for how long?

I had my gallbladder remove exactly one year after I had my band placed. It was not the way I planned to spend my first bandiversary. My band did not have to be unfilled. If you have any further questions, let me know.
