There is for sure other solutions than surgery to get rid of gall stone .  i
don't have specific knowledge of those therapies  but  i read some stuff
about it from peoples who have been able to cleanse their gall bladder. from
stones. please  get an other opinion  ( from other kind of " therapies "
before doing an irreversible operation .
Sorry  to not be of better help.
