is it safe to travel with gall stone(s)? My wife was told yesterday that she had a 1.8cm gall stone, it is too late to rebook a trip we have scheduled for 13 days from now. The pain she had yesterday was the first attack she has had, no previous pain.
I think yes its safe or better the risk for another biliary colic if the first one was a true biliary colic is the same for a traveler, because it doesn't depend on the movement but more on the food you take. Abundant meals and especially abundant fatty meals may be the cause of a new biliary colic, so she should be more cautious. Meanwhile, you have the time for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and a good recovery in 13 days if possible.
