Dx of gallstones and fatty liver disease

I have been having pain under my rib cage, lots of diarrhea, and an electrical pain in my neck vertebrae following the abdomen pain. These flare ups last a week to ten days and happens every month or two.Had an ultrasound and blood work. Was told I have gallstones and high fatty liver and referred to a surgeon. When I asked him why I have these he shrugged his shoulders and scheduled surgery.I am a vegan, consume maybe one alcoholic drink a week, and get plenty of exercise. I have been under significant stress the past few years. I am 57 years old and female.I would like to find the root cause of these issues before opting for surgery. Any suggestions and input is appreciated.

Yes you need to find a good GI Dr. who can explain fatty liver disease to you. I had fatty liver which developed into NASH/cirrhosis. I am almost 3years LTP due to the liver disease. Fatty Liver Disease is a very sneaky disease you must stay on top of it, gallbladder problems r a part of it.
Good Luck

Thank you so much. I am hoping to figure out a root cause because I am not a big drinker.

I was not either “ social drinker”fatty liver happens to non drinkers, they think mine might have been hereditary b/c my mom had a fatty liver. I was 59 y/o when I found out I had it I ended up in end stage liver disease no option but a liver transplant.
