Core Tip	Surgeons performing bariatric surgery should be vigilant about the increased risk of biliary complications in patients, particularly those with a body mass index over 40, as they have an eightfold higher risk of developing cholelithiasis. Monitoring for symptoms and considering individual risk factors can guide appropriate treatment, potentially improving patients' quality of life post-surgery.
