What Are My Chances If I M Put Under Anesthetic In Order To Have My Gallbladder Removed?
I have been diagnosed with severe gallstones, my bladder is apparently full of them. The bigger issue at hand is my lung capacity is only 30%, which they tell me is very low in order to perform surgery. What are my chances if I m put under anesthetic in order to have my gallbladder removed?

Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.
It is not possible to perform a surgery under general anesthesia with these compromised lung function. Alternative in this case would be CHOLECYSTOSTOMY under Local anesthesia. your surgeon will guide you through this
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
