[|Human|] in January I had pains and was jaundiced, a gallstone was seen on my ultra sound and the following day I had an MRI which showed the stone had passed. I was told i needed the Gallbladder removed but i had to wait untill my bloods were normal it has taken 5 months for my bloods to clear I have had no other attacks and I am almost back to normal but the hospital still want to remove my Gallbladder do I need this surgery or can i leave it and have it if the symptoms come back
[|AI|]  Hi Jackie Thanks for posting your query. Ideally you should undergo surgery to remove gall bladder. Gall bladder misfunctioning causes gall stones to form. And even though gall stone may be removed once, the diseased gall bladder is still present in body, which may cause new gall stones to form. It is seen that once a patient has had severe episode of gall stone disease, such patients have increased chances to suffer from more such episodes in the future. Hope this helps.
