Gallbladder?

I had a Gallbladder attack lastnite or at 1:00am i had to go to the ER.I had my surgery on Sept 1,2005 .I been expecting this to happen. People that have had to have thiers removed after surgery *****moved it for you? The doctor that did your bypass or were you refered to another doctor? ChandraHamilton 09/01/05 276-200lbs

Chandra mine was removed long before surgery. I know Dawn's surgeon prefered he remove hers and he did.. If it has to come out call Dr. O's office and see what he thinks you should do. Due to your new innards he may be the one that wants to take it out. I would call him first though!!! Debby

Ty Debbie il do that.When i went to the ER the doc there just said have my doc refer me to a surgeon and i wasnt sure which one he ment my PC or the one that did my bypass and i was reallly sleepy and under meditcation,and didnt think then to ask.....

My surgeon did mine 3 months to the day later Good Luck

Ty Marsha,and congrates on the new baby!

I'm sorry your having problems with your gall bladder. My WLS surgen took mine out at the same time he did my surgery, to avoid going back in later. I wish I could help....Dawn

Ty Dawn,I think he should have took mine out too ,since he was going in anyways,but he said it looked and test come out that it was ok at the time so i see why he didnt.. Good luck to you too!

Chandra, I had to have my gallbladder removed 7 months after my surgery and my WLS surgeon removed it. It was a very simple procedure. I was scheduled for 9am and I was home by 3pm. I had it done Lap and the pain was very minimal. I'm sure everyone's experience is different though. Good luck and take care of yourself! Mellisia

Yes, I had an attack and my surgeon was very clear about wanting to do it himself. That may have been because I have the band and my port was very close to where he needed to make an insicion. It didnt matter, I wouldnt have wanted anyone else touching me! I say stick with your surgeon if at all possible. You are comfortable with him, etc., dawn

Hi Chandra ~ I had my gallbladder removed by my WLS surgeon. My WLS was 7/31/03 and my gallbladder came out in January 2004 - right after the new insurance year with the new deductible started. I hope all is well with you.
