Do Oxalates In Green Vegetables Develop Into Cholelithiasis?

I heard green vegetables have oxylites and when taken they are bound to calcium in the blood and prone to have cholilithiasis. If so, can I take calcium tablet along with green vegs so that it straight away gets in to the intestines and eliminates from there instead of binding with calcium in the blood
