Gallbladder removed??
who has had to have there gallbladder removed post gastric bypass? did they do it laparoscopically or had to do it open?
I had a DS 6 years ago. My gallbladder was removed lap 19 months post-op, and I left the hospital 28 hours after being admitted. I returned to my sit-down work 11 days post-op with some restrictions outlined by the surgeon for the next 5 weeks or so.

DS (lap) with Dr. Clifford Deveney. Cholecystectomy (lap) with Dr. Clifford Deveney 19 months post-op.
Has not weighed myself since 1/2010. Letting my clothes gauge my progress instead.
I had it done when I was 10 months post op and it was lap.
