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 just got my blood tests back, and my SGOT is at 59 while my SGPT is at 64. I'm wondering if these levels are something I should be worried about. Does this mean there's a big problem, or could it be related to the fever? Would really appreciate some advice on this.
