I guess if your doctor said it does not need to come out, then you should be fine. But are you getting enough to eat (everything bothered me and I was losing too much weight…mine had tons of stones in it and they said it DID need to come out).

25% seems low to me, but I am certainly not a medical professional.

Did they give you any meds for relief to help you in the meantime? Did they make a plan to re-scan you in the next 3-6 months to see if things are worsening?

I just feel bad for you, because no one should have to worry that they might die from poor medical advice for any reason.

Are you able to get a second opinion from someone or (and I think you may have said this) do you not have insurance and it would cost too much?

I am really praying that you get some help and answers about this. I did find something online that said many gallbladders are being taken out unnecessarily, but I don't know if the source would be considered "reputable" in the medical community. It gave some good advice about things you could do to improve gallbladder health, but if I'm not mistaken, they pretty much involved buying a book and/or supplements offered in links provided on that site. If you are interested in checking that out, though, I can look through my bookmarks and find it and can send you the link. Just please keep us posted about how you are doing.
