Well, I'm rather stunned to say the least.
Since May I've followed slimming world and lost almost 3 stone. I'm awaiting surgery for gallstones and my doctor told me today that he suspects that following Slimming World had something to do with the cause of the stones. He also pointed the finger at Weight Watchers. He said that following a very low fat diet can stop bile from flushing away when you eat and it sits in the gallbladder and forms sludge and eventually, over time, the sludge turns to stones. The more rapid the weight loss, the higher the risk of forming stones...
Anyone else heard this?
