I am 7 months post sleeve and down 55 pounds. Thursday evening after work I got the most intense pain in my chest. Nothing I was doing was helping so I went to the ER about 2 am. After a chest xray, EKG and ultrasound they said it's gallstones. Got some morphine (awesome) and the name of a surgeon to call. I felt great all weekend but tonight hurting again. Took a zofran (also awesome) and a hydrocodone but can't sleep.

I'm calling in the morning but my question is..WHO do I call? The surgeon the ER doc suggested? Should I call my sleeve surgeon? My GP? This is new to me so I wanted to get some thoughts. Would also love to hear from anyone that's had their gallbladder removed post sleeve. How was recovery?

Thanks!

. Call the surgeon the Er gave you. Depending on your stones it may be time for your gall bladder to be removed. I had Mine removed 2 weeks after having my son. It was an easy procedure. The pain prior was awful!! Goodluck!

I'd call your sleeve surgeon first.
