A member asked:
Which doctor should you see for gallstones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe no one: If you have gallstones, as many people do, and no symptoms, you have no concerns. Only about 5% of people who have gallstones develop symptoms in a given year. If you DO have symptoms, you should see a general surgeon, who can help you via laparoscopic cholecystectomy. And, if you're currently having symptoms, go to a low fat diet. (This will be lifted after gb removal.) Good luck.
