Hi I'm getting worried that I was steady at 125 for a couple of years since I had a DS. After having my gallbladder removed 2 years ago I'm wondering if that's why I lost another 10 pounds. I can't get my weight back up which I am now considered underweight. My family said I look sick and too skinny. Does a removal of a gallbladder do something to the DS metabolism? Noticed I started to lose the weight slowly after the removal. Please help me with this question. Very worried.

Hello I read that you stated that a general surgeon can have some issues in removing a gallbladder if they don't know the DS anatomy.? That kinda scares me because I have a DS done in 2012 and had my gallbladder out by emergency visit 2 years ago. And a year later I had an intestinal blockage near the left side where the gallbladder was removed. My blockage I was told was 5cm. Stayed in the hospital for 7 days with a NG tube to suction out the blockage out. It was painful with a tube down your nose and down the throat . Now I think about what you said about a general surgeon going in our anatomy and messing with it. Could of been related to what happened to me a year later due to the gallbladder removed.

so far after that experience I have lost an extra 10 pounds and now considered under weight which worries me now. My family thinks something is going wrong with me. I now most likely am going to get my surgery report and see what went on with my gallbladder removal from the general surgeon. Thank you for posting that about a general surgeon issue. It never dawned on me about that there not familiar with a DS.
