Re: Gallbladder and oil slick

[Guest guest]

I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago and have never experienced

any trouble at all with gas or different bowel habits. I did gain

lot of weight afterward, and am not sure if it's a coincidence or not.

Anyone out there know about gallbladder removal and weight gain going

together?

I have not had surgery(yet!). But I had my gallbladder out in 1998

after losing 70 lbs in 5 months- go figure! Anyhow, I had problems

and still do!

The gallbladder stores bile which is an emulsifier that surrounds

fats and allows them to be broken down. Anyhow, the purpose of the

gallbladder is to have extra bile on hand if an extra-fatty meal is

eaten. It then adds some additional bile to what is normally

produced.

I notice when I eat something like Mcs(with fries and all)

which I don't do very often- I am running for the bathroom right

quick afterwards. This happens with other greasy stuff, too.

The good news is that it has gotten much better than it was in the

beginning. You are only a year out so it may get better for you, as

well.

I, too, am curious what the results will be when(if) I have surgery!

Take care and good luck!

I had my gall bladder out in 1988 and have urgency immiediately

after eating anthing fatty too. Dr Welker told me this improves

dramatically after the DS, and he explained exactly why...but dang if

I can remember the details. (alzheimers apparently)
