Has anyone had problems with their gallbladder and had to get remove so early after getting sleeve? How was the recovery and pain compare to the sleeve surgery? How many months post opt? Im set to go in next Thursday and hope my back pain goes away soon after surgery.

Super common from what I read.

How much weight have you lost so far? I believe it can happen from rapid weight loss.

I was 6 weeks post-op. I knew going into bypass surgery that I had gall stones, but doc didn't take it out during surgery. I didn't gave any issues after surgery, but needed a total knee, so opted to get gall bladder taken out so I didn't risk infections after knee surgery. I'm glad I had gall bladder taken out, as the pathology report showed that I had a long standing inflammation/ infection that was not manifesting as a full blown gall bladder attack. Surgery was a breeze. I was headed out the door to go home about 1 hour after coming out of recovery. The best thing the anesthesiologist offered he was a nerve block on my abdomen. It lasted a couple if days, and allowed me to get around pain free in those days following surgery. Surgery was on Wednesday, and I went back to work the following Monday. If you are offered the block TAKE IT!

To the poster, couple of days on pain pills and soreness for a few more days. The back pain is relieved as soon as they remove it.
