Post op problems Gall Bladder

Has anyone had any gall bladder problems after surgery? What were your symptoms?

I had to have my gall bladder removed post WLS...

I had a severe pain in my left side, felt like it was a spear running from my front to back, that would not quit.

It was pancreatitis, a key symptom of gall bladder issues, which are fairly common with significant weight loss. My gallbladder was removed 6 months post WLS.

I hope you feel better fast.

Thank you. It started last night after dinner i am 13 months post op. I ate about 4 bites of food. Felt very full but just didnt feel right. About 2 hours later i felt nausea and thought i had to throw up but had foamies. My heart started doing palpitation on and off all night. Had the pain under my breast al the way to my shoulder blades. Blood pressure is real good as is my blood sugar. So i just couldnt pin point what was going on. Then started remembering people talking about gall bladder problems after surgery. So going to get with the doc to do a scan and hope no stones
