Gallbladder and weight loss

There's a good chance my gallbladder has to come out( I'm 8 mo post op). But I e been reading from different web sites it slows weightloss down dramatically. Is that true?

There's a difference between diarrhea and loose stool. After you've had your gall bladder taken out u will have a loose stool. Diarrhea is when u are using the bathroom many many times through the day. Pre op sleeve, I went after each meal and it was loose. That's not considered diarrhea tho. You food has one less place to stop and process so it just moves right through. Since my sleeve, I don't go like this anymore. I don't even go every day. Last week I didn't go at all. Everyone's body is different tho, so none of these post are going to be completely accurate for u :(

It seems like a 50/50 chance.

The diahrrea part doesn't bother me as much as the greater chance of dehydration due to loose stools and diahrrea.

We shall see :)

Today I had to cancel my surgery for next Friday due to not enough worked hours for FMLA. I'm about 200 hours shy. I am an LNA and lift more than 15 lbs and that's what his restriction is for 3 weeks. Soooo, I hope everything stays the same till then.

Thanks for all the responses. They are all very helpful :)
