Through ultrasound i found out i have a gall stone. can i travel to punta cana in july of i don't get surgery? if i do?

Depends on symptoms: Some people have gallstones, but are not symptomatic. If you are having symptoms, you will have plenty of time to heal if you go ahead and have surgery now. Have a great trip!!
