Gall bladder meds

[selbradey 321]

My surgeon gave me a med for prevention of gall stones if anyone is interested or didnt know about it. Actigall 300 mg caps twice daily

[dlinnh 44]

Yup I'm supposed to take two per day too. I only take one per day, as my weightloss is incredibly slow and apparently people have developed gallstones when they have dramatic fast weightloss. Well my weightloss is not dramatic or fast - so I only take one

[selbradey 321]

Mine is slow too. I started at 215 nov 4th im now 176

I'm the Queen of slow weight loss. Was on meds. Still had gallbladder issues and had it taken out 6 weeks after my VSG. So it's really just the luck of the draw.

Im wondering if my primary doctor will give me these?

started at 237 pre op - day of surgery I was 222 and today I'm ONLY at 208 and I was sleeved on 11/12! NOW that's slow.....I haven't lost anything in two weeks!

Wish i had know about this med. Went out of town for Christmas, and had to have my gallbladder removed while gone. Ughh!

My surgeon has me on it for the next three months. Im a single mom, so i am hoping i dont need another surgery

I have the same weight on surgery day and the same surgery date. I think my slow weight loss is due to my leak. I was hospitalized for 9 days for the leak.

[dlinnh 44]

I can't even imagine another surgery at this point! My place of employment would flip! I'm sorry to hear you were hospitalized for 9 days (Sweetnye01) - do they know what caused it? How are you now? What were your symptoms?

Wait! What? That is NOT slow. I was 214 day if surgery Nov 7th and now I'm 185. You've lost 40lbs in less than two months! I'm not sure what you were expecting but that is far from slow weight loss!

My doctor didn't give me any meds for gallbladder and so far so good.

[Ola Tess 21]

I'm in them too and forget sometimes but I totally agree. My loss is not fast but then again I don't want gallstones so I will keep on trying!

Does anyone know why weight loss causes problems with the gallbladder?

[selbradey 321]

Ive always seen friends and family have gall bladder issues from weight gain, so the weightloss effect is new.
