Reccurrent symptoms: This can be gastritis, gerd or other GI issues and even a primary common bile duct stone. I recommend seeing your pcp or GI doctor to begin work up and get you proper medications.

Biliary disease: Gallbladder removal for a diseased gallbladder will lower your risk for serious gallstone related complications, like acute cholecystitis, gallstone pancreatitis and cholangitis. In most cases the pain is also relieved. It is a safe, effective and durable procedure. Take family with you to ask questions. Be well and good luck.
