Two months before my surgery I ended up with gallstones causing pancreatitis. I was in the hospital for two days. After my surgery in August my surgeon put me on Ursodiol 3x per day. He’s talking about gallbladder surgery 6-9 months after I had my sleeve done. The surgery date depends on how much weight I lose.

I had gallbladder issues 8 month out, had it removed at 11 months out. Gallbladder issues are no joke, mine was shooting small stones into my liver, they hospitalized me when I went jaundice.

Having gone through what I did and feeling so much better after gallbladder removal, I would say the sooner the better. My liver enzymes were always a little high, I thought that was my normal. It turns out I probably had “mild” gallbladder issues for years, but all is normal now.
