Yes...it is very common after weight loss surgery to have to have your gallbladder removed. Mine was full of stones after an 80 lb weight loss..

Quite common! I got mine taken out at the same time of my sleeve (I had previously lost 100lbs a few years ago and had some stones) so as a precautionary measure they took mine out. I was talking to one of my nurses the second night I was in the hospital and he said that about 25% of patients have to come back to get their gallbladder taken out.

I had mine taken out years ago but my surgeon will automatically remove it during the WLS if patients still have them. Rapid weight loss causes gall stones which result in painful gallbladder attacks.

When I had mine out, I was dressed and leaving the surgery center within an hour of waking up. It's usually a very simple surgery with a quick recovery.
