question: A doctor told me today that I needed my gallbladder removed and scheduled surgery. After doing some research I am very hesitant. Im 35 years old and my symptoms (for two months now) are pain and cramping of my LEFT flank and occur after eating and I can no longer eat as much as I used to. Im having odd bowel movements several times a day. Sometimes its diarrhea, other times its been orange and lately its been dark green. I also have pain in my left hip that feels like its being pulled apart. I understand that this may not have anything to do with my main symptoms, but its presence came with the flank pain. Ive had an Ultrasound, CT scan, blood work, and given a urine sample. The blood and urine showed nothing wrong. The CT and Ultrasound showed a small teardrop size polyp in my gallbladder and no stones. Is this doctor cut happy or should I really be concerned?
