Lost weight, got gallstones.

I (46m) was recently diagnosed with Nonobstructive Cholelithiasis (gallstones). They are mainly asymptomatic and won't require surgery unless they cause trouble. I lost 65lbs last year in about 100 days with the benefit of Phentermine. I have kept it off now for about a year. It turns out, rapid weight loss (more than 3lbs a week) can cause gallstones to form. I'm not saying this would happen to everyone. But, apparently slow and steady may be a better idea.
