I am 8 months out from my sleeve surgery and have had two really bad gallbladder attacks (at least from what I've read they are textbook gall bladder attacks). I know this is common with large weight loss. I lost 80 pounds and made goal in January. The first one scared me but the second one was worse. Luckily by the time I realized that I needed to get to a hospital, the pain subsided. I did so well with my WLS, hardly had any pain at all, but I'm not looking forward to this. I am going to Doctor this week. Anyone else have to go through this? Is the surgery/healing process similar to the sleeve surgery?

Yes similar! You will be fine. I had mine out after I lost weight years ago. It happens, take care of it. Only negative will be limits to your exercise post surgery but you will be back to normal eventually!

No biggie!

I had my first gall bladder attack ever 10 days after my sleeve surgery. I had my gall bladder removed (by my bariatric surgeon -- love him!) 4 weeks post-VSG surgery.

It set me back max a week, but was very easy to recover from.

I've had zero complications or difficulties in any way since my GB was removed. I hope yours goes just as well.
