Obesity and especially rapid weight loss following bariatric surgery are known risk factors for cholelithiasis. Since the risk may be high, prophylactic cholecystectomy has been advocated. Apolipoprotein (Apo) E, an important carrier protein in cholesterol metabolism and trafficking, is believed to play a role in gallstone pathogenesis. In particular, the Apo E4 allele has been suggested to be associated with cholesterol cholelithiasis. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of postoperative cholelithiasis in our patient population and to determine a possible correlation with the Apo-E genotype.
