    I would go ahead and proceed with the surgeries. They can be performed laparoscopically today with very minimal discomfort. The risk of avoiding surgery is that if a hernia becomes incarcerated in a knuckle a bell becomes gangrenous then you have some very serious problems to include either an ileostomy or a colostomy or God forbid both!

    Gallbladder pain is usually in the right upper quadrant of your abdomen. The pain sometimes radiates to your back. It is usually associated with the ingestion of fatty foods. The pain is colicky in nature and on palpating underneath your right side of the ribs you should have abdominal pain. If the pain is more midline you may be dealing with ulcers. It would be my recommendation that you get a gallbladder x-ray study done and if indeed you have cholecystitis as well as cholelithiasis the gallblader needs come out. It is not a good idea to deal with a sick gallbladder. You need to make sure that you are on track with your true diagnosis. READ MORE

    Most hernias are potentially serious.

The biggest shoe if a hernia getting trapped the blood supply can be cut off to that portion of your in test time and you can get dead bow. This is a surgical emergency. It is also a much worse prognosis if that is on the left side of your belly as the colon resides in there.
