What are the pros to getting your gallbladder removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain relief: is probably the biggest pro, and is what prompts most people to get their GB out in the first place. Depending on what is wrong with your gallbladder, other pros would be being able to tolerate more foods, less bloating/gas pain, improved bowel function, removal of polyps. There are risks as well, and you should consult with a surgeon to understand your specific case fully. Good luck.
