Call your surgery center.

When was your surgery? Are you on Actigall/Ursodiol? Gall bladder problems are quite common for WLS patients in the active weight loss phase, especially if you had a history prior to surgery. Definitely contact your surgeon and get seen! If the pain can't be managed, go to the ER.

They are almost impossible to pass usually because of their size. Certain medications can help dissolve very small gravel but the side effects aren’t the nicest & until they are gone you will continue to experience pain. Have you had an abdominal ultrasound to see how many you have & how large they are?

Best treatment is to have your gall bladder removed otherwise you will continue to experience pain. My surgeon said once you have one stone you will likely develop more.

Gall stones can develop because of high cholesterol, prolonged weight loss, menopause or high bilirubin levels.

do you have a primary care provider? You've posted several medical issues here that may or may not be related to your surgery. Plus you're several years out from surgery, too. I would call a doctor rather than ask people on the internet for medical advice.
