Good news/Bad news
Ah, unfortunately that's not uncommon after WLS. Hopefully it will be an easy surgery for you. Mine came out when I was about 10 months post op and it was super easy.

I had my gall bladder removed five years before my RNY and it was a much less evasive procedure and I was up and about much easier with no pain. Hope you experience is easy and pain free.
I had mine out 7 weeks after my RNY. It wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be and it was such a relief to be rid of the gallbladder pain. It was done as a surgical day procedure so home after a few hours in recovery and maybe a week to feel more like myself. I did end up with a nasty wound infection though, but all in all the gallbladder was a piece of cake for me. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
