Actigall
The stats I've seen are:
WITHOUT Actigall, 32% of folks end up with gall stones
WITH Actigall, only 2% of folks end up with gall stones
I personally would have insisted on it but I didn't know about it at the time of my surgery.
And, eight months later, I had to have my gall bladder removed.

Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
Yah, insist on it. especially if you feel as though you might loose weight rapidly. Actigall helps the gallbladder adjust to the rapid weight loss, and also helps not to get gallstones.
If you cant get it from your Surgeon, get it from your PCP. Just explain to him/her you are going to have WLS.
You only need to take it about 3 months anyhow, and most insurance covers the generic.
