Difficult to say...: This still could be a gallbladder problem just with sludge on us. However, it's important to rule out other problems before removing the gallbladder. Other issues could be reflux, stomach ulcer, gastritis, pancreatitis, small pancreatic duct, bile reflux. I would ask your doctor about these.
