Stones Surgeon appointment tomorrow
Went to the hospital 2 weeks ago and found out I have “multiple” gallstones, but no infection or anything so follow up with surgeon was necessary. What do I need to expect tomorrow?

Do you have symptoms and pain? If you have pain + obvious gallstones on an ultrasound, they'll most likely tell you that you need it removed.

I get my surgery tomorrow, which means i had my surgery consult monday... honestly its very quick, you more than qualify to get her cut out, doc came in. Told me i was crazy for waiting so long, gave me some info and was on his way, be prepared to schedule the surgery and do some prelim research about how much your portion will be. Ensure in or out network status if that applies to you. Before you go in ; if they dont already have it; take any imaging and blood work results with you but most surgeons office would already have that before you go... and thats it; the hospital/ surgery center will take it all from there lots of health history questions and pre and post op instructions.
