    Default Ultrasound--gallstones

    On Jan 20th I had my ultrasound and it showed gallstones, I'm not in any pain so its hard for me to consider to have my gallbladder removed and the worry of another surgery, I'm having my scope next Wednesday, I don't know right now I'm just so scared, and the dr will not removed my gallbladder with my sleeve surgery which I have read that other people have had done. Has anyone had the same problem, will my insurance not approve my surgery if I have gallstones?

    I see you are new to the boards. I would find a dr who would do both at the same time. Just had my GB out and the surgeon used the same scars except for one that went in my belly button. My Gallbladder surgeon told me they usually take out the GB when I have the surgery I had done. I told him I didn't have any problem till now 27 months later, and I had it done in Mexico. Good Luck Linda
