A member asked:
I have 1.4 cms gallbladder stone. should i have a surgery known as cholecystectomy? thank you.

Depends: Many, many people have cholelithiasis. The question is the stone giving you problems? Do you have pain, indigestion, fever or for example excessive belching. Do you have signs of hepatitis or jaundice? These would all be inidications for the gallbladder to be removed.
