Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Dr. Friedli, Thank you so much for your information. We truly appreciate your input and help. Question: I had a severe attack where stones blocked the bile duct. They removed the stones via ERCP. They insisted that the gall bladder must come out afterward. I do not understand why it had to be removed if they cleared the bile duct with the ERCP. They said it could happen again, but that doesn't sit right with me. Is it really necessary to remove the gb after an ERCP? Also, couldn't the stones have passed on their own somehow? Last one - do you know if there is any way exercise can help the gb to function better and break up stones? I saw someone mention this on a health show. I don't know anyone who exercises with gall stones, so I wonder if it helps. Thanks again for helping us...Randi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
