Suggest Treatment For Gall Stones
I just came home from ORMC ER with Rx of Hydrocodone / Acetaminophen 5-325 TB. Diagnosis was Gall stones and Fatty Liver Disease. They suggested I see someone for possible surgery of the gall stones; and secondly to change my diet. What is the type of Dr. I need to see for the gall stones?

Hello
Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus is surgical removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy).
You are rightly advised for operation and dietary changes.
You can consult surgeon.
Fatty liver is a reversible condition and it is due to excessive deposition fat within liver cells.
You may need few investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,lipid profile,liver function test.
You should avoid saturated fat.
Take Care
