Hello Everyone,

Got a question for those who had their gall bladder removed after wls.

I had wls 04/2002 and had my gall bladder removed in 06/2003.

I was having some problems with vomitting and this is how it was

discovered that my gall bladder was not working. Now with the

exception of not vomitting (yeah) I have not really noticed any

difference since the gb is gone.

My question is should there be any big differences since the gall

bladder is gone?

thanks

Terry, I totally agree. Some surgeons simply believe that if it's

not broken, don't fix it. That certianly doesn't make them unethical

either.

Any large amount of weight loss, especially rapid weight loss, can

cause gallbladder problems. That's why I had to have my gallbladder

removed in 1987, LONG before my 2001 WLS.

So although a WLS patient is likely to need to have their gallbladder

removed after WLS, many WLS patients still have their gallbladder and

have no problems. It would be more unethical to remove the

gallbladder " just in case " it might cause problems later!

with a revision.
