I found out I have a partially distended gallbladder with multiple stones, the biggest being 19mm, and diffuse wall thickening in the neck and body. My liver shows grade 1 fatty infiltration but other reports and LFT are fine except slightly high SGPT. I'm really scared of surgery what other options do I have?

Question

I'm 19 years old and recently noticed something strange - my stomach moves in a way that feels like a heartbeat. I'm not sure if it's something that has always been there, but I've only noticed it in the last couple of months. Could this be something normal or should I be worried about it?

Question

What color is blood in stool?

Question

I had an ultrasound that showed two echogenic foci measuring 4.6mm and 3mm but my liver, kidneys, spleen, and pancreas are normal. My doctor recommended surgery but I'm hesitant can this be treated with medications instead or should I wait a month to see if it resolves on its own? I really don't want to rush into a laparoscopy unless absolutely necessary. What would you suggest?
