My mom has gall bladder stones and the doctor recommended surgery because there are many small stones that could burst and cause jaundice. She also has asthma, leg swelling, and pain. Are there any other treatment options or solutions for her condition?

I'm noticing this small swelling on my belly button that's been there for about a month now. Lately, my stomach's felt kind of bloated and I've been having some gas issues. Also, I feel kind of uneasy after eating meals. Should I be concerned about this, and what might be causing it?
The persistent swelling around your belly button, accompanied by bloating, gas issues, and discomfort after meals, may indicate a possible umbilical hernia, intestinal obstruction, or gastrointestinal issue such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); consult a general surgeon or gastroenterologist for a thorough examination

For your GERD and left-sided umbilical hernia, surgery is a viable option to alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life. Surgical options for GERD include Nissen fundoplication, which strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter, and for the umbilical hernia, open or laparoscopic repair with mesh or sutures. Lifestyle adjustments like dietary changes and avoiding trigger foods can also help manage both conditions, especially GERD
