Meds: There are meds that dissolve the gb stones. When you go to the er they will give you pain meds and recommend a gb study and refer you to a gb surgeon or a GI guy. They will tell you to avoid fatty foods as this squeezes the gb and causes pain. Good news about surgery-its done with scope and its pretty slick. Not like when i used to take em out the hard way.
