I'm not sure I want to jump right in and have surgery. The CT also indicated a fatty liver. Surgery and the after surger effects of gallbladder removal seems worse than any symtoms I have right now. Dear Dorothy, Your letter incorporates many of the issues that we deal with in this Forum. Even patients with stones and abdominal pain should not have surgery unless it is evident that the gall bladder is the source of pain.
Many patients have surgery for atypical belly pains and have persistent pain after the operation.
