I am almost 7 or so months out and no gallbladder problems. My surgeon had me taking ursodiol for several months after surgery to offset such issues.

Mine was years prior. Galbladder issues were triggered when I was pregnant. Everyone is different.

A low caloric diet is a cause of gallbladder issues. Not everyone has these issues however there are a high percentage of people that do require it later down the road. I have been a lucky one who has not had any issues and I am 19 months out. Most surgeons have you sign a document stating that while you are under the knife if he believes you are at risk of developing, or have already developed gall stones they have your permission to remove it. Good luck!

I don't know about Gonnabe, but I didn't even notice that the gallbladder had been removed. Any pain I had was centered around the largest incision where the stomach was removed and around my bellybutton.

I felt the pain for sure day of. Not cool one bit. I wouldn't know the difference on the recovery since they were both done.

Dr. Alvarez talks about the relationship of developing gallstones after weight loss surgery specifically after the gastric sleeve surgery

FYI - I'm 5.5 months out and no gallbladder issues...

At how many months out did he suggest you take ursodiol?

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
