Gall bladder<br><br> Has anyone after WLS had gall bladder problems? What symptoms? How did it feel?

it is pain that occurs after you eat. It can radiate to you back. Any pain should be reported to your doctor.

Gallbladder pain usually originates from the right side just below your ribs. My worst attack felt like hard labor contractions. Severe pain, starting from the right and radiating around my whole midsection around to my back. The pain came in continuous waves and my attack lasted about seven hours. They usually do an ultrasound to diagnose gallstones. They may also do blood work. My surgeon said if you have one attack you will have more so they take it out. My daughter put off having her gallbladder out till she graduated from URI. The last six weeks before graduation she had attacks daily ranging from bad to severe. I don't know how she lasted that long.

Both my daughters and I had our gallbladders removed. Gallbladder surgery is the most common surgery in the world.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
