Hello Amy6908,

About two years ago I had my gull bladder removed due to stones.  I am so happy I did have the surgury.  I feel much better since my gull bladder has been removed.  Although I still have problem with acid reflux it is not as bad as before the surgury.  I would consult with my doctor about other ways to get rid of the stone.  However, I do think it is a good idea to consult other means before surgury.

Just to inform you, my surgury was done as a outpatient procedure.  It took me about two to three weeks to recover.  I am not one to recommend surgury first by no means.  Good luck finding other means of possibly desolving the stones.  I have heard of this being done. However, I am sorry to say I don't know what is used for this procedure.

I had my gull blader removed, the stone was as big as a golf ball.  There is a mixture of things you can drink to get rid of them but if they are to big it could make it worse.  I remember that one of the things in the mixture was olive oil.  I could ask my friend what all was in them but I am not sure if she is home this weekend
