I am so glad to find all your comments. I thought I was losing my marbles. I had been through menopause and didn't suffer any weight gain from that, but later had my gall bladder removed and that's a whole different story. It has been about 6 years and I have gained about 45 pounds. I have tried dieting and I have given up at times, and it seems to make no difference either way. What makes me mad is I wasn't even having gall bladder pain (only one stone), but I had been vomiting for about a year and a half and the only thing they could figure out was, it must be the gall bladder. Wrong. After surgery, I continued to have the same problem. Finally figured out the vomiting was caused by a medication I was taking. I want my gall bladder back, stone and all. I've gained most of this weight around the middle, and get extremely and painfully bloated in the upper part of my abdomen whenever I eat ANYTHING. Nothing fits any more, and I rarely leave the house. It would have been nice if the doctor had warned me about this, but I got no warning whatsoever. I will try some of the advice I've found here; thank you. Let this serve as a warning for people who haven't had the surgery yet...don't do it unless your life is endangered. You'll be sorry.
