Gaul bladder advice required please.

OK,

One of my sons (21) has been in hospital for tests the last few days, as he has had stomach area pains for the last three weeks. He does not drink btw... .last time was around Christmas.

He has been diagnosed with possible Pancreitis,...had a scan this morning where a "largish" gaul stone was spotted.

Apparantly one option is the removal of his gaul bladder, which naturally he is not too keen on, only as a last resort.

Any Ph'ers had this done, and has there been any long term side effects?

Thanks in anticipation....

OK,

Thanks for all the helpful replies:-

I will pass the information on, ultimately it is his decision, but it sounds like the op is the way to go.......(as a last resort)
