View allMy mom is 65 and has gallbladder stones but refuses surgery. We're really worried because she's had them for a while now. Are there any other treatment options besides surgery that could help her?
While gallbladder surgery (cholecystectomy) is the most common and effective treatment for gallstones, there are alternative non-surgical options that may be considered, especially if surgery is not an option. These include oral dissolution therapy with medications like ursodiol or chenodiol, which can dissolve cholesterol gallstones, and endoscopic procedures like ERCP to remove stones stuck in the bile ducts

I'm really worried about my health and could use some advice. I've been dealing with Spleenomegaly and Portal Vein Hypertension for the past four years, and on top of that, I've got esophagus varices. I recently had EVL banding done twice, but honestly, I haven't noticed any improvement. I'm just not active at all, and it's really bothering me. Can you help me understand the root cause of all this and what might be a permanent solution?
refer to gastroenterologist and get an endoscopy done

That could be gastritis,take antacids and consume bland diet and more water to ease your stomach and take adequate rest
