Welcome to HCM, the perfect place to voice your concerns and alleviate your anxieties. How many other places are there where you get specialist opinion with only mouse and keyboard?
My first message to you — no worries. My second message — no worries at all.
Your
MRI findings describe things we (radiologists & surgeons alike) handle everyday, and if I weren't talking to the patient (that's you) directly, I'd have started my answer with, "Hey, it's piece o'cake!"
So your diagnosis is polyps and stones in an otherwise normal
gall bladder. The treatment, to the best of my knowledge (and the surgeon always knows better) :
laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It's done under
general anaesthesia.
In my hospital, patients undergoing this operation are able go home on the very next day and are able to resume normal life within another day or two. In many countries of the world, this operation is done on a daycare basis, which means that the patient goes home in the evening after having the operation in the morning.
So, no worries, piece o'cake!
Before I conclude, I can't hide a curiosity. What kind of complaints did you have that took you to the doctor? I ask it because when a doctor suspects a problem in the gall bladder, they'd usually ask for an
ultrasound, and many GB problems (except the most complicated ones) do not require further imaging. But in your case, the doctor requested an MRI. Did your complaints or other lab findings suggest things bigger than simply polyps and stones? It's only a curiosity on my part as a radiologist, but you could discuss it with him too, in order to be sure that stones and polyps are all that there is.
Wishing you best of luck for your upcoming surgery, and with respect to your doctor.
