We perform ultrasound of the gallbladder in all of our patients prior to surgery and recommend removal of the gallbladder in all patients that have gallstones. If you pass a gallstone after gastric bypass surgery it can be very difficult to treat.
If you are having symptoms with your gallbladder and you are scheduled for a gastric bypass then it s very reasonable to have both done at the same time without compromising outcome. Typicall we do not perform both at the same time unless there is a specific reason to do so such as gallbladder symptoms with stones.
