I've recently had my gallbladder removed due to gallstones, and before the surgery, I was experiencing high levels of SGOT, SGPT, and bilirubin. An endoscopy confirmed the gallstones, leading to the surgery. Now, after the surgery, I've had three liver function tests over a 10-day period. While the SGOT and SGPT levels are back to normal, my bilirubin total is still around 2.3. Is this normal after having my gallbladder removed?

After gallbladder removal surgery, it is not uncommon for bilirubin levels to be slightly elevated. However, a total bilirubin level of around 2.3 may still be within the normal range depending on the reference values used by the laboratory. It is important to monitor your bilirubin levels closely and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation if needed. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Ursodiol to help with bile flow and digestion post gallbladder removal.

View allI've been diagnosed with a gallbladder stone and heard surgery might be the only option. Lately, I've been dealing with acidity issues, which isn't usual for me, and sometimes it feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen when I try to take deep breaths. Could the breathing trouble be related to the acidity or the gallbladder stone?
It's common to experience acidity issues when you have gallbladder stones, and while surgery is a frequent recommendation for gallstones, it's not the only option. It's important to discuss both the acidity and gallstone issues with your doctor, as they may be related, and various treatment options exist for both.

I have a 14mm gallstone but no pain right now. Allopathy doctors are recommending surgery to remove it. Can homeopathy actually cure this and how long would it take? Also, are there any good homeopathy doctors in NCR who can guarantee results? I've attached my ultrasound report for reference.
If you have a 14mm gallstone without pain, some homeopathic treatments might offer symptom management, but surgery is often recommended for larger stones or if symptoms develop. It's essential to consult with a qualified homeopath for personalized advice. As for doctors in NCR, you could seek out well-regarded specialists in gastroenterology or hepatobiliary surgery for the best advice on your treatment options.
