Gallblader

Has anyone had problem with this.  I know it can be an issue.  

I had mine removed a couple of years after I was banded even tho I took ursadiol or something like that to hopefully make it not happen.

what systems did you have.  I believe that's my problem but my PCP doesn't.

No,  I don't know this as fact but I think it may be less of an issue for banded people as we tend to lose less weight and lose it more slowly. 

Gall Bladder issues can arise from Weight loss in general NOT from having the actually Surgery, ie: band, sleeve, RNY , etc.. But the rapid  WL can be a factor.

 BUT so can Genetics,  Obesity, Diabetes, to name a few.

 You've probably done a search already but.....intense, sudden pain in the upper right side of the abdomen,indigestion or pain after meals that lasts a few hours,intolerance of fatty foods. Again, just to name a few issues that can cause GB problems.

Tests that can be performed= ultrasound and if that's inconclusive a HIDA Scan is more test specific for GB issues.

If your pain is in another location maybe having a Barium Swallow will help.

Good Luck
