A member asked:
F, 63, what is the alternative to remove stone instead of removing gallbladder?(remove 1 stone from bile duct through ercp) any risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gallbladder: The stone removed from the bile duct came from your gallbladder. If you don't get your gallbladder removed you will be at risk of having the same problem again.

In 2015 I had a Billroth operation II (partial Gastrectomy) due to stomach Ulcers. Does this mean that I now cant have an endo retrograde cholangio pancreatography(ERCP). I may have got stones in my bile duct but had my gallbladder removed in 2009?
Been told on here that you CAN have an ERCP if you have had a Billroth 2 procedure & gallbladder removed years ago. My Dr today told me that i cant have one. should i get a second opinion as I may have stones in my ducts & liver test GTT is 3x high?
After my gallbladder removal my bile duct has stricture.An ercp has performed but it remains. What should I do?
How invasive is an ERCP endoscopy? If an EU was preformed but nothing of note showed up what are the chances of being scheduled an ERCP if issues with the liver gallbladder and bile ducts are suspected? Is gallbladder removal more common than ERCP?
My ultrasound reported showed a gallstone in the common bile duct which is causing blockage. I've been told get ERCP soon as it is causing the bile to backup. I did not understand this, backup of bile in the liver or the gallbladder?
