Losing weight has many health benefits and you will experience a better quality of life with increased confidence and radiance. Weight loss leads to fat absorption and metabolism within the liver which can lead to super-saturation of cholesterol within bile leading to gallstone formation. If you develop right sided abdominal discomfort after eating you may need to have an ultrasound of the abdomen to diagnose the presence of gall stones.

It is best to consult a weight loss surgeon who understands your previous procedure and is capable of dealing with your gall stones through surgery if the discomfort becomes disconcerting. Your options include treating attacks of discomfort with pain killers and trying to avoid rich meals and food-stuffs or alternatively a keyhole procedure to remove your gall bladder.

Please get in touch if you would like to discuss this further with a weight loss and gall stone surgery specialist.
