gallstones now after 5 yrs 10% N.F. GB

I've had a 10% working gb for 5 yrs..all my docs said to keep it till I have to take it out..i had a ct scan of my lungs, in the area they were looking showed stones in gb..I do get pain on my right side right under my liver. Not the pain there talking about, however I know the sizes of difft stones..

I want it out..I've been having discolored stools..i had labs took of liver and pancreas..I have to even worry more into it down the road..gb is there for a reason live with it or not, bile salts still have to do there job..

I do have a lot of gas and bloating, stools  7 days not brown,,lately dark green. They say the stool goes threw the small intestine to fast. Bile is green the yellow the brown..i asked my docs 5 yrs ago,so when do I get it out. After I've gotten stones not good!!!   thanks

Hi, the gall bladder functions as a storage area for bile produced in the liver. This bile is then secreted into the intestines to aid digestion. When then the gall bladder malfunctions, there is stasis of bile and other crystals and salts get deposited forming sludge. This is prone for gallstone formation and sometimes infection. So, based on symptoms therapy is planned. As you are symptomatic and have gallbladder dysfunction, you can discuss the surgical option with your doctor. Regards.
