Question:
Gallbladder has to go...How many have had gall bladder removed after Lap RNY?
I had my Lap RNY Jan 31, 2008. I had a gallstone before the surgery but the surgeon wasn't comfortable removing both at the same time. I am told there may be a scar tissue issue, has anyone been through this before? — heartsablaze (posted on May 27, 2008)

hi tracy- had open (my request for open ) RNY 3-24-04. I had GB removed and
navel hernia repair at the same time. Your GB OP will be a piece of cake,
if you have it lap, and you will feel sooooooooooo much better with it gone
:) Good luck Cindi - 230#

I had my gallbladder removed 4 months after my RNY. The pain was minimal
and I was back to work in 2 days. My surgeon used 3 of my previous incision
sites to remove the GB.Good luck Paula

I just had my gall bladder out less than a month ago and had my lap RnY Oct
30, '07. I went in for surgery at 1230 in the afternoon and was home by
730 that same evening. Good luck and you will feel so much better! -- Lori

I had mine removed and an umbulical hernea repair the same time I had my
open RNY on 8/22/06. The only scar I have is about a 5 " scar from my
breastbone down. They did a scan and found 2 gall stones while they were
doing pre-op testing prior to surgery.
