Contemplating NOT having suggested gallbladder surgery!

I have a solitary gall stone measuring 12 mm.Generally it has remained silent.I had a pain attack in Jan this year after about 3 years of the previous attack.My surgeon advised removal of gall bladder. However my Physician advised not to go for surgery as pain attacks were not frequent and in his view removal of GB would aggravate my acid reflux issue.I am now confused .Any advice from Group members pls in my case.

@liaquat Welcome to our group of caring people I had gall stones but only one attack and that was years ago My zpCP recommended the same thing with Acid reflux just leave it alone unless it gets alot worse That's my suggestion listen to your GP Surgeons love to cut big 💰

Hi @liaquat, you will see that I moved your comment to a discussion that is ongoing about whether or not to undergo a cholecystectomy (removal of your gallbladder). I myself have had the procedure and have had a lot of issues surrounding it, though I had multiple stones and frequent pain.

How many have you had since January?
