Did you ever think the Yaz may be a part of why you needed the gallbladder out? I was recently diagnosed with Multiple Gallbladder stones. Something the recently developed within the year I began taking Yaz. I had a CT 1.5 year ago showing nothing, and just this month I have multiple. I do not have the typical fatty/fast food diet that they talk about- I am a health nut if anything. Read the packet info- it states Gallbladder disease as a side effect. Yasmin has also been sited for the same issues.

Yaz is poison! I took it ,I was fine got bad headaches,nausea,now I too have gallbladder disease my doc told me take more vitamin b's.They wont admit it's the yaz but ya look into it you'll be surprised.

I had to get my gallbladder removed within a year of taking YAZ due to gallbladder disease. I was 21, not overweight, and I was a healthy eater. Not to mention it made me feel literally insane like I had no control over myself and I almost admitted myself to a psychiatric ward. Do not take this pill... it is bogus that they were even able to put it on the market. I'm currently claiming compensation from Bayer for the gallbladder disease and having to live the rest of my life with the digestive side effects of it.

oh yeah and i was prescribed YAZ in 2007, before they mentioned gallbladder disease in the packet, so, they're in big trouble... with a lot of women.

I took Yaz for 4 years and my gallbladder ruptured and i had to have emergency surgery to remove it and they also found that I had over 20 gallstones in my abdomen! I do have a legal rep and they are gonna pay!

I started yaz after my daughter was born in 2007. i was only on it for 3-4 months and started to get sick. i didn't think anything of it. Then i started to get sick after i ate and at different times. I've always had a touchy stomach but now 2 1/2yrs later i had to have my gallbladder taken out. what is going on.

From what I've read, the theory is that the hormones in birth control pills can increase the cholesterol levels in the bile, which can cause gallstones. Maybe the types of hormones in Yaz cause this more often than other birth control pills.

After all I've heard about it, I decided to go off Yaz, just as a precaution. I never had any side-effects, but I'm worried that I will. I'm hoping the FDA will look more closely at this and come up with some real findings, rather than our having to trust class-action lawyers. Until there are some real scientific findings, doctors aren't going to take this seriously and stop prescribing it (mine didn't think this was any big deal, I had to insist that I wanted to switch).
