Gallbladder!
I had a couple of small gallstones before surgery; they showed up on an MRI about a year ago. I did not have any symptoms, so my surgeon didn't remove my gallbladder during the sleeve surgery.
This week I had an abdominal ultrasound (unrelated) and they saw my gallbladder was distended and one of the stones is getting large - 1.5 cm. I still don't have any symptoms, but I'm wondering if it's just a matter of time.
Any advice? Should I ask my doctor for a prescription to dissolve them (if there even is such a medication)? I know some people have gallstones and never develop any problems, but how likely is that?
