A member asked:

After having abdominal pain and discomfort, i was diagnosed with sludge in gallbladder and i'm advised to go through cholecystectomy. looking for a second opinion, is it absolutely necessary to remove my gallbladder through surgery and why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If your attacks of abdominal pains result in inflammatory complications,or if you have repeated attacks despite avoiding fried&fatty foods, you run the risk of acute cholecystitis or even pancreatitis.It's a time bomb. In this setting gall bladder removal seems indicated&most get it done. However I'm a great believer in obtaining second opinions &think you should consult another abdominal surgeon
