Symptoms of Gallstones After Gastric Sleeve Surgery
While bariatric surgery can be a lifesaving medical intervention, some common complications are associated with the procedure. When gallstones reach a specific size, they can end up blocking the bile duct and causing issues, including pain in the upper abdomen. You can also experience the following symptoms:
- Nausea
- Gas
- Bloating
- Indigestion
- Vomiting
Luckily, gallstones don’t always require intervention or treatment, and there are preventive measures that you can follow after your surgery. For more information on gastric sleeve surgery, you can visit Dr. Mario Almanza‘s website and schedule a consultation today.
