    It's common to have gallbladder issues after weight loss, but not a given.


    ^^This! There is a possibility of it happening but it's not an absolute like that woman's Doctor worded it. I had my gallbladder removed 3 years ago. I was a chronic 'dieter' most of my life. I only learned sensible eating habits when I got older. So I know poor dietary habits contributed to my gallbladder attacks. Good riddance that it's gone now. I have no issues whatsoever!

    After my first daughter was born I had three gallbladder attacks and knew I had stones. The attacks stopped for months, then I started focusing on my weight, lost 25lbs and they started up again. I had attacks weekly for another month before I had to have it removed. So the weight loss didn't cause the problem, but it did trigger the attacks. Either way, I am glad I lost the weight I needed to and I don't miss my gallbladder.
