Do the benefits of slimming outweigh the risk of gallstones?

Huda Abdel Moneim says, I read in your door "Health and Medicine" that dietary systems can cause gallstones, and here I wonder, are the benefits of weight loss greater than the risk of gallstones?

Dr. Osama Hafni, consultant physiotherapist and obesity therapist, responds, "We should know that although some methods of weight loss increase the risk of gallstones, obesity itself poses a greater risk. In addition to its effect on increasing the incidence of gallstones, obesity is associated with many serious health problems, including:
1. Type 2 high blood sugar.
2. High blood pressure.
3. Heart disease.
4. Stroke and brain clots.
5. Certain types of cancer.
6. Sleep apnea.
7. Erosion of cartilage and increase distal ness of the joints.
8. Fat liver.

For obese people, weight loss can reduce the risk of some of these serious diseases. Even losing a small amount of weight within 10% of your body weight over a six-month period, there is a significant improvement in health and the risk of the disease is significantly reduced. In addition, weight loss brings other benefits such as improving mood, increasing energy, and giving a positive self-image.

Finally, anyone who is obese should actually start trying to lose weight, but I always advise them to think well before starting any program, whether it is moving or dietary to lose weight, and they should do so under the supervision of specialists to get the benefits of weight loss, and avoid risk including the risk of stones.
