Both me and my husband have had our gallbladders removed and my son had a gallstone a few years ago - very common condition. But if you need advice you really need to speak to your GP.

As to surgery on warfarin, I have had operations whilst on it - normally you stop the warfarin a few days before then inject heparin before and after the surgery until your inr goes back within range. But this will all be arranged for you beforehand.

Not what you're looking for?
