Hello to All, I have a question about Actigol and gall stones. The fine print on the package starts out listing both constipation and diarrhea among others but the thing that stands out was the months it can take to be effective. Should this med be pre-op instead of a post op? Anyone elses had experience with this? Thanks Mark, who still requires open flames to be kept at a safe distance to his tush but is down 26 pounds

Hi Mark! No clue on the meds .. my gall bladder came out with ny RNY so that I wouldn't have to worry later!! Good luck with yours. Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!

Hi. I am taking it. And it says WHAT??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

Oh now I remember reading that. I think it was referring to taking months to dissolve already formed stones if you go the acigol route as opposed to surgery. As for us, it does the job of stopping new ones forming right from the beginning!!!

Hey mark!! 26 lbs!! Wow!! Great job. I lost my gall back in the early 80's. I didn't even know they had a medication to keep stones from forming now. Call Dr. Mo and ask him.

I can't answer your question but this whole open flame and tush thing has me worried. Especially, since a lot of people become lactose intolerant after surgery.
