What are symptoms of gallbladder problems?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Depends, if you have gallstones you'll definitely know if one tries to pass because it's excruciating pain, but before then (for me at least) no symptoms. I also had an inflamed gallbladder before the stones and that was different because it was pain in my back and shoulders, tolerable but very uncomfortable.

I took the medication religiously and had my gallbladder taken out one year after my vsg. I probably had gallstones before...

I had rny gastric bypass done 8 months ago. Just had my gallbladder removed two days ago. For me, symptoms were sharp stabbing pains in my upper right abdomen and nausea/vomiting. My surgeon said that the better you do with wls, the more likely you are to have trouble with your gallbladder. Because my gallbladder surgery was just two days ago, I'm in some pain now. I have four new incisions on my belly. It certainly has not made me regret having weight loss surgery, though.

I had a big gallstone before surgery, I had the sleeve done a year and a half ago and haven't had a problem since. Fingers crossed but I know eventually it'll probably have to come out

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
