The most common condition after weight loss is gallbladder inflammation. Research shows that 30% of patients develop gallstones after rapid weight loss, which is why gallbladder problems are very common after bariatric operations such as sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass, and after medications such as Mounjaro and Saxenda. So if a patient comes in with abdominal pain after rapid weight loss, we always think of gallstones. This is where the debate always arises: should the gallbladder be removed or not? That's why, after rapid weight loss, an abdominal ultrasound is essential to confirm whether there are gallstones, and this is where the surgeon's role comes in to make the right decision. I'm Dr. Mohamed Hossam Zidan, and I'll explain what's new in gallbladder surgery.
