It shouldn't be an issue. Mine was taken about about 4 years before my lap-band surgery.

i was wondering what if you have'nt had your gallbladdar took out i have'nt had my out will they take it out during sugery

The gallbladder question is one that I asked early on (at the informational seminar) and they said it wouldn't be an issue. I had mine out ten years before I had the band and every nurse, doctor, and specialist told me "NO PROBLEM" :scalesno:

In regard to taking it out during the lapband surgery, I doubt they would unless you already had a problem with gallstones. I have read a couple of posts where people have had it removed during the lapband surgery because of this.

Good luck with the whole process!

My doctor would not take it out during the lapband surgery, It had to come out 2 weeks before.

It is too risky to do it at the same time because of the toxins in the gall bladder could cause an infection in the band.

Good Luck!

Thanks so much for the replys guys. I was just so worried that i was gonna go for the consultation and ask the surgeon and he'd say sorry love but...ooo so excited!!

Manu thanks

I had my gall bladder removed about 20 years ago when it was having to be "opened up" to get it out not laproscopically. When I had my consult with the surgeon mentioned it while going over my medical history but said there will be absolutely no problem. I wouldn't worry to much if I were you. Good Luck!
