Influence of Insulin Resistance Status on the Development of Gallstones Following Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass: a Prospective Cohort Study

Background The occurrence of gallstones following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has been extensively reported. As RYGB promotes improvement in insulin resistance (IR), which is one of the factors enrolled in the pathophysiology of gallstones, this study aims to determine the influence of IR and its post-RYGB course on the development of gallstones.
