Anaesthetics....

I was told I had gallstones which should be removed but at the RV with the Anaesthist, he refused to operate me on the basis that it would be too dangerous for me as a cardiac and wearer of a defibrillater (advanced heart pace maker) - Is there no other method to extract the gallstones?

If the gallstones are less than 1cm in size you can use the method I used but I need more info, because you can make them go but they will most probably form again if you don't correct what caused them in the first place.

I need to know more info about your previous life style, like your dietary habits on average every day, and your daily routine, type of work, habits you do in a daily basis. More info can help me identify the cause more accurately.

Wish you the best

I'll try to find out! I have all the images, but I don't know if it gives the size. They did say that they were very small. Living in France, of course, may mean that the treatment is not available.

I was able to make all my gallstones go down without a surgery, but first I need to know how big is the diameter of the largest stone they found by ultrasound.
