Primary | Incidence of gallstone formation after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy | Patients in both arms will undergo a total of three abdominal ultrasounds after their bariatric surgery (at 6 months, at 12 months, and at 18 months) to check for gallstones. Once gallstone formation is detected at any of these time points, no additional ultrasounds will be done and the incidence of gallstone formation (Percentage of patients with gallstone formation on ultrasound) will be calculated. | At 6 months to 18 months after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy |
