About 10 months ago, I started a weight loss program with a goal of 2 lbs a week. I was successfully able to go from ~240lbs down to 175 as of today. About 6 weeks ago I had a gallbladder attack out of nowhere. Was very surprising since we stopped eating red meat and rarely have anything greasy or fried. I also had what felt like and appeared to be a hernia so I had an ultra sound to figure both out. Now I'm going in for surgery on the 30th to have both the gallbladder removed and hernia repaired. Moral of the story, quick weight loss can aid in the formation of gallstones and it's a pretty common occurrence.
