Just got those dreaded gallstones and will need to have my gallbladder removed next week, not surprised that I got the but I'm so surprised by how soon. I'm 16wks post op, 60lb loss. Anyone else had gallstones this soon?

I was 6 months post op

I knew I had gallstones before my RNY because I'd already had a pretty bad attack. My surgeon wouldn't combine procedures so I had mine removed six months later, in the same year so my deductible was already met. It was a freebie. I have to warn you, though, I found the pain level much higher with my gallbladder removal. My RNY was a piece of cake by comparison. Even so, by one week after I was feeling much improved and glad not to have the threat of a gallbladder attack hanging over my head anymore. :-)

I have had gallbladder issues for over a year so my surgeon will be removing it along with my RNY in August. I think I may be more excited about finely having that gone then the WLS right now lol ..... those attacks seriously suck!

Getting my gallbladder out was super easy compared to this rny surgery.

I got gallstone attacks every week for about 7 weeks when I was pregnant with my twins. Couldn't eat anything w/o triggering one. Lived on Slim Fast drinks only. Had to get twins heartbeats on monitors before they would give me the demerol/phenergan cocktail, then wait two hours to get another dose for the pain to stop. Every. Single. Time. I wanted to die.

7 days after emergency csection at 33 wks (severe preeclampsia) the duct got blocked. 3 days later my gallbladder came out. The next day all three of us went home.

Gallstones suck!! Good riddance!

Help. . I got my gallbladder removed June 19 I've had enough but problems I'm in excruciating pain anytime I drink something or eat there is stabbing in sternum through my back and my shoulder blade literally dropped me to my knees mean I got a CT. An MRCP there is no stones left behind as the report show I do have fluid on the fossa area. so I'm at a complete loss they're going to send me now to another GI specialist to have a scope done. is anyone else experiencing I do not have any gallstones in my gallbladder however it was three times its normal size and was full of infection. ????????????

You need an gallbladder ultrasound

Not sure how a HIDA scan would help. The GB has been removed, I've had a US done n CT which found the sludge, making cholecystectomy a must. Now the pain has warranted the MRCP which only shows fuild. I'm wondering if it could be SOD, it does show, dilation od the CBD.
