Gallstones even with Ursodiol?
on 1/26/15 8:24 am
Is it possible to get gallstones while taking Ursodiol daily to prevent them? (My doctor has me taking it for 6 months after my surgery). Has anyone had gallstones after they completed taking all prescribed Ursodiol? Thanks!

Thank you for the information! Lets me know that if I have symptoms down the road, not to rule gallstones out. Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks for letting me know! I didn' realize that there were no guarantees. Thanks again!
My surgeon actually doesn't prescribe it. He says the new studies he has seen say that it doesn't help prevent gallstones for WLSers. I didn't take it, and have never had a gallbladder issue.
