So I am scheduled to have gallbladder removal on Oct 1st...still healing from my sleeve. Dr and nurses were astonished that I'm having trouble with my gallbladder lol. Anyone else have surgery so soon after their sleeve? Just out of curiosity.

My surgeon puts everyone who still has their gall bladder on a medication (ursodial) to avoid problems with sudden weightloss & gall bladders. I haven't had any problems hope everything goes well with ur surgery...

This same thing is happening to me! I had sleeve surgery on 8/12 and was in the ER with gallstones this past week. I am scheduled to have mine out on Oct 15th. I can't believe I'm headed back to surgery so soon!

let me please ask where was the pain located and how did it feel because I keep getting a nagging pain on my left back side. My sleeve doctor said to take Tylenol for it

I'm not an expert but I believe that gallstones generally cause pain on the right side. My pain was below my ribcage and down the mid section of my right side. It was sort of a burning stabbing pain that comes and goes. Has your doctor mentioned kidney stones to you? That seems more likely than gallstones because kidney pain is usually on your back, either right or left side. Or it could just be a muscle strain. It's best to follow up with your doc if it continues :-)

Gallstones can cause referred pain to back between shoulder blades or either shoulder blade itself. I had my out when they did the RNY.

I had severe pains in my lower stomach. It would not be all of the time. It mainly came on in the middle of the night. It didnt make sense to me but thats what happened. It was SO painful, like crying painful. I ended up having emergency surgery. Good luck getting it out. Surgery was a breeze.
