I found out I have a 7mm stone in my gallbladder. I'm wondering if it's something that can be treated with medicine or if surgery is the only option. I just had a baby boy through normal delivery on December 31, 2016, and I'm concerned about going through surgery while still needing to breastfeed. Is it safe to have surgery and continue feeding my baby?

A 7mm gallbladder stone may require surgical removal, especially if it's causing pain or complications. If you need surgery, it's essential to discuss with your doctor whether its safe to breastfeed post-surgery. In most cases, you can resume breastfeeding once you've recovered, but your healthcare provider will guide you on the specific timing.
