A member asked:

Do i have to have your gall bladder removed due to gallstones attack?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: If you keep having abdominal discomfort and nausea after eating, then laparoscopic surgery to remove the gallbladder and gallstones will resolve the problem. Otherwise the gallstones would just form again inside the gallbladder if some sort of stone dissolving was attempted.
