A member asked:
Gallbladder with big stone 30mm without pain and with gas. is it still functioning, is it still useful for the body. removing it will be load on liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Won't affect liver: The gallbladder is a sac under the liver which collects bile (the pigment that turns the stool brown) and stores it until you eat a fatty meal. Bile aids in absorbing fats after eating. When you have gallstones, stones can block the opening to the gallbladder, causing symptoms, such as pain, or in some cases "gas". Laparoscopic cholecystectomy removes the gallbladder through small incisions
