Hey guys.. I'm so happy with my weight loss about 65 lbs in 4 months. However, I had to have my gallbladder removed due to stones from rapid weight loss and now almost 2 weeks after GB surgery, i have continual pain in my lower abdomen and doc may think it's appendicitis. I was wondering if anyone else have had these surgeries one after the other. I didn't even think they were linked but I guess they're both prone to occur after a lot of weight loss.

I know rapid weight loss can impact the gallbladder.

My guess is that the appendicitis is unrelated --- but, I could be wrong.

Luckily, I've already had my gall bladder removed prior to my sleeve. But I did just spend a week in the hospital trying to pass a rather oddly shaped kidney stone. Doc said that it was directly related to being dehydrated and all of the greek yogurt I had been consuming (calcium and protein!) But, I'd still do it all over again to achieve what I have in the past 3 months!

No but I read articles that said they can happen.

I had my gallbladder removed yesterday. I'm struggling with food choices now
