Has anyone had their gall bladder removed after their stoma was created? This might be in my future. I've got two stomas. It doesn't have anything to do with your intestines, does it? I'm no longer a candidate for any kind of intestinal surgery. I guess it's a pretty common surgery now, isn't it?

Remember that cowboy series, Longmire? It was really good, so of course it was cancelled. Longmire's deputy said, "Trouble's coming sheriff." Longmire replied, "Trouble's always coming." It sure is, sheriff, it sure is.

My gallbladder was removed a few years after my ileostomy surgery. No problems. Belly was sore for a few days and then back to normal activity. Good luck to you.

Hi Olive , I have 2 stoma's and had my gall bladder removed with no problems at all .It was keyhole surgery and the 4 little scars are nowhere near my stoma's .I paid for it privately as the NHS list was so long , but it was worth it as the pain was excrutiating . A gall stone had dropped onto my liver and they told me I had an unidentified growth on it ,I was terrified .Turned out to be a large green stone which they gave me to keep ( I didn't ) !! might have done if it was an emerald

Hello, my gallbladder was removed 1yr after my ileostomy. I was fine, went home the same day. I just had a little discomfort, but after 2wks the pain was gone.

Thanks, what kind of symptoms did your G. B. give you
Take care and thanks

Is anyone in Atlanta area got the gall bladder removed with the existing pouch ? I spoke to few surgeons and they are not optimistic about the laproscopic option. Only one surgeon was willing and he also said only 50% chances of laproscopic surgery. Are there any risks with laproscopic? The surgeon said they cannot see clearly and don’t have good access to gall bladder due to my stoma /pouch position ( right side , lower )

Yes 10 days after Ileostomy surgery, no problem other than they had to do it old fashion way(full incision)
