Abstract
Obesity and gallstones are two common diseases with increasing prevalence. Gallstone formation is associated with obesity, but conversely, rapid weight loss can also increase the likelihood of gallstones forming.1 Thus, around a third of patients develop gallstones in the first 6 months after bariatric surgery. As more patients seeking treatment for their obesity undergo bariatric surgery or medical or endoscopic therapies, the incidence of gallstones will increase, with some becoming symptomatic and leading to cholecystectomy.
