I was at a new doctor's office this week SHE said that according to my CT, Ultra Sound and symptoms, I have a Fistula leaking into my gall bladder. OMG. She now has the MRIs to make final decision, but she stated that she thinks I need laproscopy to close the fistula. Anyone else had this surgery to close a fistula? I'm so scared!

Hello @maxine50,
A laparoscopy is a non-invasive type of surgery and much easier to recover from than a more invasive surgery. Here is some information about laparoscopic procedures:

While this article is about gynecological surgery, many members of Connect have had gallbladders removed by a laparoscopic procedure including @tasha00. I hope that she connects with you and I hope this gives you some helpful information until someone who has had laparoscopic surgery responds to your question.
