Hi

Thanks for posting your query

The ultrasound should be conclusive of either stones or polyps

Your symptoms of dyspepsia could be because of Gall Bladder disease

You may expect a surgical treatment

You should ask your Gastrentrologist about the following :

1] Medical management of the condition
2] Dietry restrictions
3] Further course of management
4] If Surgical - Open or Laparoscopic

Hope this helps
Am available for followup queries
Wishing you good health
