Unclear: Realize that many people have gallstones, but that doesn't mean you have to have your gallbladder removed. I notice you mention vomiting in your "CONDITIONS". But it is clear that gallstones are the cause of your vomiting. Be careful about going forth with a surgery unless it's clear the gallstones are causing problems. Is the next scan your waiting for a HIDA scan?
