Here's a breakdown of what you can do to address your concerns and make informed decisions: Gallstones and their impact: Gallstones can cause pain when they block bile ducts, leading to the symptoms you're experiencing Why surgery is recommended: Your doctor likely recommends surgery because gallstones can cause recurring problems and complications if left untreated

I've been having this issue for about six months now where every time I eat, I start to gag and it kinda feels like I'm gonna vomit. It seems to get worse the more I eat. I tried taking pantoprazole, but it hasn't really helped. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?

There could be multiple reasons for your problem. How healthy are you. Increased weitgh an be one of the causes. Also Change the type of food you eat. Take light and non spicy food for now. Your gagging sensation comes from throat or stomach? Take 1 tab Rabekind DSR daily empty stomach. Tab Emset 4 mg 1 tab daily 2 times a day, Tab Herbolax (Himalaya) 1 tab daily once a day. Continue these for 1 week and inform me. Do mild exercise daily and avoid going to bed immediately after meals. Next Steps if problem persists consult an ENT
