Gall stones are more common in the obese population and may be formed during rapid weight loss. The ideal management of gallstones in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery remains unclear. Several treatment modalities have been used by many surgeons and include performing cholecystectomy on all patients at the time of gastric bypass, performing cholecystectomy only when patients having symptoms of gallstones. All kinds of treatment modalities have been analyzed and discussed in this study.
