Cholecystitis Support Group
Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder. It is commonly due to impaction (sticking) of a gallstone within the neck of the gall bladder, leading to inspissation of bile, bile stasis, and infection by gut organisms. Cholecystitis may be a cause of right upper quadrant pain. In severe cases, the gall bladder can rupture and form an abscess.
I will be getting my gallbladder removed in about 3 weeks. I have been reading up on the surgery and have come across many posts and articles saying that there is substantial weight gain after surgery. I am wondering did anyone here put on a lot of weight? Thank you for your help.

Hi sorry for the late response but I just happened to see this. My gallbladder removal surgery did not cause weight gain. Are the articles saying the gain is specifically caused by no longer having a gallbladder, or is it related to dietary and exercise changes people may make after surgery?

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
