Hello, time, The findings on your ultrasound shows that you have many stones from small to fairly large size. Gallbladder distension can mean some degree of inflammation. Even though you say that you have not heyday acute attack, it could be a disaster waiting to happen. Problem is, one of the small stones can get stuck in the bile duct, that is the channel that brings bile into the intestine. Then you can have severe abdominal pain, fever,chills, yellow jaundice and hospitalization. This could result in complications like rupture of the gallbladder and peritonitis. If you had a large single stone, there were options to treat with laser or Chat Doctor. In your case, the best option is surgery. This can be done as same day surgery through laparoscopic approach. Recovery is shorter, and you will not have large incision. Stomach bloating and gas could be symptoms of gallstones.Sometimes, you may have a hiatus hernia and HERD to explain this. I wish you good such and be well.
