I had my gall bladder removed at the end of March this year. I had stones in the gall bladder and in the bile ducts (100s of them!!!) The surgeon was shocked when he went in and was unable to perform a lap. Bummer for me. My question is with regards to weight loss. I lost a lot of weight right after the surgery but have put it back on and seem to be having trouble trying to get it off now. Is there anyone out there who noticed a dificulty in losing weight after having the gall bladder removed? Is there any medical reason that his would happen that anyone is aware of? Just curious and frustrated. I am not that overweight (maybe 15 pounds) but just wanted to drop those 15 and seem to be struggling. Any thoughts??
Thanks

It's easy to gain weight but hard to take it off. Nothing related to the Gallbladder surgery.
