How Can Gallstones And An Umbilical Hernia Be Treated?
Hi, i have small gallstones and an umbilical hernia. I have been to a specialist who wants to take out my gall bladder and then attend to the hernia with a mesh later. Seemed in a rush to do this and has scheduled the gall bladder removal on November 22. Should I get a second opinion? Should I try alternative treatment on the gallstones?
