The Lesser Antilles (also known as the Caribbees) [citation needed] are a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea. Most form a long, partly volcanic island arc between the Greater Antilles to the north-west and the continent of South America. The islands form the eastern boundary of the Caribbean Sea with the Atlantic Ocean.
Ursodiol is a bile acid given to cats and dogs for the treatment and prevention of gallstones. It is also used in the treatment of chronic liver problems. Ursodiol is not FDA approved for veterinary use, but it is common practice for veterinarians to prescribe this medication.
For laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and banding patients, if you still have your gallbladder, you will need to take Ursodiol. Take Ursodiol 300 mg twice daily beginning two weeks after surgery, and take for six months after surgery.
