I have constant (for at least a year or so) bloating and very gassy. It started in the morning, after eating and it does nor go away.  I also have  pressure im my right side of the abdomen.

Shd I remove gallbladder? ...my stool is regular    2 years ago did laproscopy, everything was finePls advise
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. The symptoms of bloating and gassy could be very much due to your gall stones. If you are medically fit, I would advise you for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which is very safe in competent hands. The gall bladder is as such diseased in such cases, and needs to be removed. However, I would advise you to get your self clinically examined by a general surgeon, and get assessed for the operation. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
