My doctor confirmed with ultrasound i have one large gallstone in my gallbladder. is my only option to have my gallbladder removed? attacks nightly

Yes: Dear Sam, Gallstones is a common condition and is cured by removing the gallbladder. Your symptoms can continue to reoccur unless the gallbladder is removed. Thankfully the gallbladder is not a vital organ and people live a normal life without one. Avoiding fatty foods can also help reduce the symptoms of gallbladder pain as these foods stimulate the gallbladder.
