Hi. Hope u r ok. I wud appreciate prompt response. Ii started some herbal medfrom a herbalist on the recommendat hion of a couple of friends. Ut after starting meds .my gallstone which was attached with gallbladder and was in neck region. Started moving close to cystic duct. Almost obstructinv the bile flow as gallstone size is 7mm. So for last 3weeks i have se ere pain ingallbladder area. Sweating and lack of appetite along with constant pain under right rib cage . Dr suggested surgery. Plz let me know whether i am in a position tlo have surgey and if yes then open or laproscopy as i have other medicla conditions hcv with liver hemengioma ,mild colitis .my hb is now improved to 12.9 whi h probable resulted due to N iron suppliment but i must ha e avoided this as it deteriorated liver health. If i wait and see can it be risky to delay surgery as i still prefer to have alternative way to get rid of stone. What about lithotripsy. Wud be obliged if u let me k now wat to do as pain is getting worse. Regards
