I have gallstones and everyone keeps telling me I need to get my gallbladder removed through surgery. But I'm wondering can't they just take out the stones like they do with kidney stones? Why does the whole gallbladder have to go?

While kidney stones can sometimes be treated non-surgically or by breaking them up, the same approach for gallstones is less common and often not recommended. Gallstones in the gallbladder are generally removed with the gallbladder during a cholecystectomy

View allI've been having these concerning symptoms lately and I'm not sure what's going on. I was sleeping and suddenly woke up feeling dizzy, short of breath, and with some gas problems that caused a prickling pain in my chest. After that, I couldn't sleep and my body feels really weak, and the dizziness hasn't gone away. I looked it up on Google and came across GERD and acid reflux, which have similar symptoms. Could you help me figure out what this might be?
take antacids for few days it will reduce symptoms

I'm dealing with recurring mouth ulcers and think it might be due to a Vitamin B complex deficiency, possibly B12. This has been going on for about a year. I notice that taking a multivitamin seems to help, but the problem comes back after a couple of months. I also have issues with acidity and high uric acid levels, though they're somewhat under control now. However, whenever I take a multivitamin, it causes a burning sensation in my abdomen. Could you provide some guidance on what might be going on and how to manage these issues?
