I'm really worried after getting my usg report back. It says I have pancreatitis, and now I'm freaking out about whether this could be a sign of cancer. Can you help me understand what this means and what steps I should take next?

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

I've been having this issue where every morning and evening, for about a week now, I feel super sick and start gagging uncontrollably, but I don't actually get sick. Plus, I've had these constant headaches that just won't go away, and there's no way I could be pregnant. What could be going on with me?
