Gall Stones Found In Ultrasound. Had Voimitings, Upset Stomach, Back Ache. Treatment Options?

i just had a gallbladder ultra sound and found out that i have several gall stones. I have an appt with dr 11/06 to determine what way to go. Several friends have said that they would probably remove the gallbladder. I have had issues for about 1 1/2 years with vomiting, upset stomach, back ache, cold and hot sweats. What is the normal time in the hospital and down time. I am raising my 2 year old granddaughter.

Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
You have gall stones and having symptoms if medical treatment is not giving enough relief surgery is an alternative called cholecystectomy that is removal of gall bladder.
This is simple surgery in expert's hand and can be performed with the help of laparoscopy hence hospital stay is short and recovery is fast maybe 2-3 day in hospital.
This also depends on your age and associated medical condition.
Hope this information is useful.
Regards
Dr.Akhilesh Dubey M.D.
