doctor(s) say about absolutely anything you could do to possibly save and or reverse the situation and consider surgery as a last resort. Doctors are experts, but just because they are doesn't mean they're always right. If that were the case they'd all agree 100% of the time. If it's truly toast, by all means have it out, but if you haven't reached the point of no return, I say fight to keep what's yours!! I'm sure you've heard of all sorts of people trying alternative treatments, some with success and some not, but the point is to at least give it a shot instead of dismissing it as fringe/witch doctor medicine, who knows, it might just save your gallbladder.

Agree, that was my point. Since the title had the word "might" in it, I safely assumed there is a chance to not have surgery. I may not be an MD just yet but I have enough medical knowledge to give advice. We were made this way for a reason, why should we take a body part out? Like I said, the gallbladder sheds its cells and renews itself at a more rapid pace than others. I have seen many with gb working at 10% or less, find out what is causing the issue and reverse it and thus saving the surgery cost and the loss.
