little worried

Jessy1967

Hello Everyone, I been on MFP for couple of months now and were really doing good then I got really bad pain in my stomach and end up in the ER twice. The doctor's found out I had Gall Stone. I need to have surgery and need to have my gall bladder removed.. I been reading on Gall bladder surgery and it say people gain alot of weight after the surgery . I would like to know if any body has had their gall bladder removed and if they had any side effect. I am little worried about my weight issues. I would really like some feedback. Thanks.

Hey jessy I had mine removed in like 2001..I weigh more now than I did then but I doubt it from gb surgery. I actually recovered fast and it was no big deal for me. The only thIng is I cOuldnt eat certain foods for a while but I think that only lasted a few years.. Mostly iceberg lettuce, ground beef, red meats and any big serving of pizza or casseroles.actually for a while I think I probably lost weight after the gb surgery.
Other than that it was not a big deal.
Good luck with it.

Well, I will be honest. You may still get phantom pains- I do, 10 years later.

You will likely have trouble processing fats (they will go right through you). I lost weight if anything due to food intolerance.

I wouldn't worry about weight gain at all. I hope you get some relief soon
