Choose 2
They open the gallbladder up, clean it out, and sew it back up. So you keep the gallbladder. Cost 15,000 RMB
I can find out lots about gallbladder being taken out which appears to be common in the US. It appears just taking out the stones and leaving the gallbladder, is more an Asian thing.
I would like to hear about any of your stories, good things or bad things about getting your gall bladder taken out
