Newbie - first flush this weekend

Hi everyone. I've been reading your posts and am overwhelmed by all the information out here. I recently found out I have Gallstones and a surgeon has recommended surgery. I showed him Dr. Hulda's recipe and he said I could do it and he would follow up with an ultrasound afterward. He was doubtful it would work though. I have several stones that are "less than a centimeter."
My question is, how often do I need to flush? It sounds like some of you are always flushing and I'm not sure I want to do that. Every week or two weeks is a lot - and for the rest of your life? I'm only 34 years old!
Have any of you had followup ultrasounds to prove this is working?
Thanks! Tweet
