Hello
I've had problems with my gallbladder for years. A scan 3 years ago revealed stones but because my pains were mild, I was advised to modify diet. I haven't had any real problems over the years, but I still tenderness under my right ribs if I eat anything with a lot of fat. My other symptoms are gurgling tummy and the odd twinge behind right should blade.
I paid for a private scan last week and the doctor said I have stones, but so many people do and I don't need to have the GB removed if my symptoms are this mild.
Is there anyone out there who has lived a long time with stones and mild symptoms? I'd rather not have surgery and while I do miss pastries and ice cream, I can live without them.
