Guest guest Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 I had mine removed a year before surgery. i thought most docs remove the gallbladder when they do the WLS. I had emergency gallbladder removal because i was loaded with stones and it hit me hard one night on my way to bed and doubled me right over. i thought I was having a heart attack at first and went straight to the ER and was admitted and had surgery the next day to remove the stones stuck in my tract and the next day had surgery to remove the gallbladder. I would get it checked, it can get VERY painful. God Bless, Robin, NorthEastern, NY EDD- July 27th, 2004 IT'S A BOY!!!!!!
