Hi,
I have just been diagnosed with a single 13 mm stone in my gallbladder. I have a slight discomfort after (over)eating but otherwise no symptoms. The doc wanted to remove the gallbladder, but I insited on trying medical therapy first, in order to see if it works. I know the results are not that good (15-30% success after 1 year) but I will give it a go anyway, since I dont want surgery if I can avoid it. I am on Ursodeoxycholic acid 750mg/day.
Does anyone have experiences (preferably positive :) ) with this treatment?
Regards Pete
