Hi Mary I read your post about the gallstones you have. I am curious have you been taking Actigall post op???? My surgeon requires anyone with a gallbladder to take it for three months post op to prevent stones. This particular medication can also shrink existing stones so perhaps you can try this medication before having another surgery??? Be sure to ask your Dr. about it he might just let you try it. I hope you feel better soon. Wendi
