So, for those of you who don't know Gallstones are pebble like deposits in the gallbladder. They can be very painful. They can lead to more dangerous problems like rupturing of the gallbladder or infections. There is something like an 80% chance that they'll want to remove the gallbladder if you have symptoms from gallstones. There are non surgical options but from the reading I've been doing they're not very effective.
I'll let you know what my doctor says when I see him in the afternoon. I'm very happy that I have my neighbor who works in the hospital all my doctors do.
