A member asked:
How long does it take for gallstones to start forming?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Months to years: Gallstones form usually over years and aren't found until they cause pain or blockage of the cystic duct or common bile duct. However with fast and dramatic weight loss, such as after weight loss surgery, gallstone formation may be increased and cause them in just a few months time.
