I've got them also. I'm in England. My father had them (in California). He died of artherscleriosis at only 67 year. I suspect the removal of the gall bladder mean't the fat/cholesterol just went into his cardiovascular system and speeded up his death. They want to remove it. I refuse, but suffer the pain. They do not operate in France. There may be ultra-sound treatments like kidney stones, to break them up. There's also a treatment (alternative) of olive oil and lemon juice and you shit them out after one day's treatment. There's a book on it (in the USA). Found it on a website. They say that you can live without the gall bladder. Yeah. You can live without arms and legs too! Let me know if you discover anything. Best of luck. Yours sincerely, Stephen Bennett
