Gallbladder Question???

My surgeon did NOT take out mine, but also did not give me any meds like Actigall to prevent stones...should I be taking meds for that?? I will also call the doctor today. Just wondering if anyone else didn't get meds for this? THX! Nadine

U get the meds for the gallbladder soon--- like at 1 month post op! DONT WORRRY !!!! U R SURGERON KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi... that's a good question. My GB was also in tact without stones, so it was left alone. No one in my family had a problem, so I am not really prone to them. However, I have read that for anyone experiencing rapid weight loss, Actigall is recommended. I'll make sure to ask my doc. Spyder

I actually heard something interesting last night. There is a new med other than actigall that they can give you - with many LESS side effects Yay. And like Alice said, you usually dont start taking it till 30 days out! ~keri

My doctor had me take them when I got home every doc is different but I heard everyone should take them till 6 mo. out . Im 1 yr. 2m0. and I know he said it was important. Good Luck,Dianne
