 [ Symptoms ] my 65 year old father needs gallbladder surgery we need a second opinion [ Disease ] hi asthma as such has nothing to do with the gall stones the doctors may be finding it risky to operate on him due to anesthesia and surgical risks involved as this surgery is a major surgery if the gall bladder symptoms are bearable and not much then you can postpone the surgery but once gall stones are formed its difficult to cure it only by medicines surgery is the only option if the gall stone symptoms are more he has to get operated with all the risks involved endocopically done surgeries carry lesser risk thanks
