Get Thee Out, Damned Gallbladder!

Hello! Has anybody gotten their gallbladder out after their sleeve? I've had rapid weight loss, nausea and vomiting so my dr wants to take the gallbladder out now. I'll be about 3 months post op when the squirrelly lil' bastard meets its Maker. How was the surgery? Did you feel better ? Will I be lucky enough to get a few more scars ? ( I love telling people that I got them in a bar fight while IN a Mexican prison)

I was having gallbladder attacks, starting at 6 weeks out. I had my gallbladder removed 2 months ago, when i was 8 months post op. I actually ended up having mine removed on an emergency basis 2 days before my surgery was scheduled. I just kept having attacks, that would land me in the ER.

The surgery was a much faster recovery, and you will have more scaring. I am not sure if the easier recovery due to less weight I was hauling around or if it is just easier. I had the same gas pain as after the sleeve, I wasn't as soar, had less bruising. I would say that it took 4-5 weeks for me to feel completely normal again. with the sleeve it took 8-9 weeks before I felt like myself ( but I was learning how to eat again and on way fewer calories)

You will be fine. It is so wonderful to have mine out!
