SO... I've already had my gallbladder out prior to be scheduled for VSG. I know this can be a side effect of VSG. My question is if anyone else has had their gallbladder out prior and then have symptoms gotten worse or better after they had the sleeve.

Actually Dumping isn't a common side effect of the VSG at all, Dumping happens in Bypass more frequently to be considered a typical side effect, but the sleeve... it happens, but it's quite uncommon.

Thanks!

Although uncommon, its possible. I can dump. I have the sleeve. I do still have my gallbladder however.

I had dumping after having my gallbladder out prior to my vsg. I was put on medication and it has helped tremendously. Since I have had the vsg, it has slowed down but I still have to take the meds.

Thanks! I’ll definitely look into doing that

I had problems with my gallbladder and had it removed before VSG. After the gallbladder surgery I still had issues with going to the bathroom, however, since I have had the VSG I haven't had any issue with dumping.

I also had my gall bladder out and experienced dumping on rare occasions! # weeks out of sleeve surgery I haven't had any dumping.

I was a bit silly yesterday. I drive for a living and can easily get bored and boredom can lead to snacking.

I called into a garage for some diesel and on impulse bought a Twix. I knew I shouldn't but my willpower disappeared

I had the whole thing and within minutes felt so ill, I had to pull over into a layby. I thought I was going to erupt from both ends, I felt clammy, it was truly awful. I managed to keep it in and after about half an hour, I felt well enough to drive home. I had delivered a parcel in London but I live 4 hours away in Yorkshire so it wasn't the best situation!

It was my first real instance of dumping and its not something I am going to repeat.

P.s I had my gall bladder out years ago and suffered from ibs ever after but this surgery has made that go away, its been amazing!

Im hoping so. IBS has been awful with my gallbladder surgery. there is so much i cant eat without having to prepare to be near a bathroom (i.e. iceberg lettuce, sweets, etc). Im sorry you had that experience with the twix
