Suggest Remedy For Stones In The Gall Bladder
my daughter just found out her bladder is full of stones. This was determined by an ultrasound test. The issue is, she underwent a gastro bypass about 7 years ago, and how would this problem with her gallbladder affect her should she elect to have surgery to remove the stones?

Good morning
I am sorry to hear about her ill health
Gallstones without symptoms like stomach pain would generally be observed without any further treatment
Gastric bypass surgery would definitely have caused weight loss in her in last 7 years
Now weight loss and previous obesity are very strong risk factors for gallstone disease
Hope this would answer your question
I would love to answer your future queries if any
