I’m glad to hear it helped you. I’m not so certain that is what is causing my stomach problems, but if it is, I’ll gladly get it removed.

No need to remove gall bladder unless a proper diagnosis is done first. It is a serious surgery after all.

I have had all kinds of stomach issues, so have first hand experience. Not meaning to pry but what are some of your symptoms?

If you get a diagnosis for gb removal get a 2nd opinion, differnt doctor, different hospital. Gall Bladder surgery is often taken out on a whim, since you can live w/o a gall bladder. But it can be serious surgery w/complications. Unless you are in excruciating pain, wait.
I was diagnosed with gall stones about 20 years ago, they were going to do surgery, by that time the pain stopped. I haven’t had any gall bladder problems since then.

If they don’t find gallstones in you, please have your pancreas examined, with a CT scan and/or MRI. Pancreatic cysts can cause similar digestive symptoms as gallstones.
