Need opinions...PLEASE!

I doubt anyone on this site has firsthand experience with what I'm about to ask, but I would GREATLY appreciate your opinions since you are all very knowledgable about flushing (specifically) and physiology (in general). I'll keep this as concise as I can.

My wife just started having classic gallbladder attacks. She had her gallbladder removed 10 years ago. No problem anymore, since we now know about the liver flush. Right?

Here's why she and I are both reluctant about her doing the flush:

(BTW, I've done 2 flushes and am about to do a 3rd. This website is heaven sent, since my liver has been plugged for over 20 years, causing all kinds of ill health).

In January of 2002, she had gastric bypass surgery (roux-en-y with a fobi pouch) for morbid obesity. Other than the normal sugery recovery period she hasn't experienced any problems and has lost about 100lbs. This surgery is far different than the old stomach stapling that used to be done. It is a more permanent solution without the possibility of stomach stretching.

At any rate, I don't want to debate the virtues or horrors of having something like this done on one's self. But I sincerely would like to have your opinions as to whether or not she should do a flush. And by all means, if anyone DOES have firsthand experience, please tell.

Here's a link to a diagram of the porcedure:

You'll notice that the biliopancreatic limb (bile duct) is upstream from where digesting food mixes with bile (see the 'Y' on the roux limb). It doesn't seem like this would matter since bile is still flowing and the stones should "go with the flow" so to speak. She's reluctant to ask her doctor about it for obvious reasons.

She was just about to do a flush with me and then woke up this morning scared about it. I know apple juice can be used to soften/shrink the stone. But doesn't something need to flush them out (ultimately)? I think her biggest concern is drinking the large quantity of oil.

Should she even attempt the flush? If so, should she make modifications? Maybe a scaled down version of the flush?
