So I've been experiencing an awful amount of gallstone pain so I scheduled to have my gallbladder out on 12/22. I'm nervous since I'm going away the 5th of January and I just wanted to hear some experiences people have had after getting their gallbladder out!

I had my gallbladder out at the same time as my gastric sleeve. The gallbladder gave me no issues what so ever. The only pain I had was the incision that they pulled the stomach out through. Good luck with your surgery, you will enjoy not having the nagging pain anymore. I sure do!!!

Maybe a stupid question... why do people suffer with gallbladder after having a sleeve?

Hey there Lisa! Sometimes the rapid weight Loss accompanied with VSG gives the gallbladder a hard way to go and it doesn't respond well. In my upper GI my surgeon said I had gallstones and asked if I wanted to postpone surgery and have my GB removed first. NOPE. was my retort. It affects 1-2% of WLS patients.
