Hi, just wondering how common kidney stones and gallstones are post op; and how to best avoid them. Thanks, Sarah.
Hi Sarah,
As we discussed on the Live Q&A, kidney stones are not very common after a sleeve, but gallstones can be. Gallstones are common with weight loss in general, in particular with the kind of weight loss that comes after a sleeve. There isn’t too much you can do to minimise your risk unfortunately. For kidney stones, staying hydrated is the major thing. If you’re worried, have a chat with your surgeon and just keep an eye out for any abnormal abdominal pain (usually a couple of months after surgery at least).
Hope this helps!
ZOe
