Ok I am officially a senior member. All that means is that I don't have a life.. haha! Now I asked this question on another thread but it's bugging me and I wanted to make a new thread so I could actually see if anyone has any ideas about this.

I'm having a problem getting my actigal down because of the size of pills. they get lodged in my throat, and burn. Or then when they do hit my stomach it's upset from them even if I do eat a little food.

Question: Does anyone know what the odds are for not taking the actigal medication and developing probs with their gallbladder? Please let me know Suzy

I heard that it takes the percentage down from 30% to 5% of those who have WLS. I pull mine apart, pour the medicine on my tongue and take a small sip. It doesn't taste icky at all.

Ive heard from 30 percent to 2 percent.
I wouldnt stop taking it unless you want surgery again.
