Gallbladder ultrasound monitoring on gallbladder risk: given the known gallstone risk with rapid weight loss, my doctor orders gallbladder ultrasound…

Worth saying that the confident version of this is more useful to the person writing it than to the person reading it.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. For anyone reading later: the numbers in this thread are worth checking against a primary source before you act on them, including mine. Half the figures circulating in this community trace back to a secondary summary that dropped a qualifier.

Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. Most of what circulates confidently in this community traces back to one summary of one study, and the qualifier was dropped somewhere in the third retelling.

That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.

Following on from Dr.GutHealth — and this may be the naive question:

Did your prescriber agree with that reading, and if not what was their objection?

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.

Late follow-up. I did not do what was suggested, I did something adjacent, and it worked; posting the difference in case it matters to somebody.
