Anyone else have to take Ursodiol 300mg capsules twice a day? I'm almost 4 weeks post op and got prescribed these pills 2 weeks post op. Dr. said they help produce bile so I won't get gallstones.

I am on Ursodiol 250mg tablets once a day. I was sent home with this prescription. I was told that it will help prevent gallstones as well during rapid weight loss.

I was put on 300mg twice a day at my 1 month checkup. Script was written for 5 months. My surgeon says by then sleevers are past the danger of getting gallstones.

That's about the time I got them and had to take them for 4 months for that reason. Dosage was different I think.

Yup, 300mg twice a day for six months....I am on my last refill and crossing my fingers that no gallbladder issues arise, so far so good.

I'm on 500 mg once a day, I have to break the tablet in half and take 30 minutes apart.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
