Was anyone givin medication by their surgeon or pcp to help not have gallstone or gallbladder trouble from excess weightloss and if so has it helped or any side affects

My surgeon puts all her patients on medication to stop gallstones. We take it for 6 months post surgery. I’m only 2 1/2 weeks out so I don’t know if it works or not.

Yes, will be taking it for 6 months post surgery.

I don't actually know how long I'm supposed to take mine, but I have one that I take twice a day, with no side effects that I've noticed.

I’m on mine for six months twice a day. So far no side effects.

What medication is this, my doctor never mentioned anything about it.

Ursadiol, I always remember the name because of the Ursa part, I think of a Big Old Grizzly Bear, and Gall Bladder colic hurts about THAT bad! You feel like something is ripping and clawing at YOU.?

Yes. This is what I’m on. Twice a day.
