Sherry, one of the first signs I learned for gall bladder disease was

shoulder pain - you are at risk for gall bladder disease after wls.

Just to be more clear, it's not the WLS that causes the gall bladder disease,

it's the rapid weight loss. When I was in college and dieting/exercising hard,

my gallbladder rebelled, and had to be removed. I didn't have my WLS til nearly

20 years later.

And as it was explained to me, when there is not enough fat in your

diet to cause the gall bladder to expel the bile, it tends to sit

in the gall bladder and turn into a sludge, and then into stones.

I had this problem after my trip to the Duke University Rice Diet

in Durham - lost 100 lbs on a fat poor, salt poor diet. Not enough

action to clear the gall bladder and developed stones. Several years

later I had to have the gall bladder removed. Any of us on low fat

diets at any time over our lives are subject to this disorder.
