gallbladder polyps

Recntly I've been having pain in my lower rib area on my left side.  Doc thinks its gastritis but today I had an ultrasound which showed a polyp in my gallbladder.  Anyone else have this and what treatment did you have?

I had polyps in my gallbladder and had my gallbladder removed.

My husband has a polyp in his gallbladder, it was found incidentally during a liver scan when he was jaundiced from mono. Nothing was done about it, I guess if it's not blocking anything or causing symptoms then it's of no concern.

Thanks. Polyp is small 5mm so nothing will be done. I guess thats not the cause of my pain. Monday I have a barium swallow. The doctor is now thinking I have a hiatus hernia.
