anyone had their gallbladder out since being banded? - 4 months in and it goes snafu-y on me due to the rapid weight loss - had it out this morning - feels like I'm starting over - soft bland diet, and take it easy for 2-3 weeks - sux!

Hi I Had my gallblatter removed 7-31-07. Trust me it does get better. Im on my 4th week out. Just hang in there.

hi I had my gallbladder out when I was 17 - not due to band issue - and I remember being sore and not being able to cough or laugh for a few days but other then that i felt good. I am hoping when I get banded i will feel the same way

I had my gallbladder out at 6 months. I had more trouble recouperating from that surgery than the lap band itself. I am doing great now. 120 pounds lost and only 2 pounds to goal.

HI Just was banded and gall bladder romoved on Sept 14. Doing ok a little tired but not sure from the band or gallbladder!! Keep up the great job!!

Since I told my doctor that I have had gall bladder issues in the past, he is removing it sometime this month. He does not do the gall bladder surgery at the same time as lapband. There are conflicting opinions if they should be done together. That would be nice, but since my doctor doesn't do it that way, I have to get my gall bladder out soon.

I was banded June 1st and had to have my gall bladder out on September 7th. I was kind of mad at the doctor because I asked him to look at my gall bladder when he did the first surgery. By the time Setember came around I ended up in the E.R. because of the gall bladder. I can't see how it would have gotten so bad in a couple months, it had to have been bad before.

I am feeling great without my gall bladder! I had it done t the same time and was very glad. I had alot of stones in mine so I am assuming that is why they took it out after looking at it during the lap band procedure!!

Yes, I had my lapband surgery on 8/27/07. Lost 51 lbs. in 5 weeks. Then I had my first gallbladder attack and my lap surgeon had to remove my gallbladder on 10/1/07. Two major surgeries in 5 weeks. I am almost healed and ready to roll and not even two weeks out from the gallbladder surgery. Definitely Sucks! But now things are looking better! Rapid Weight Loss was the cause but doc said I would have lost it 6 months down the road anyway.
