Gallbladder disease is the most common and costly digestive disease in the United States. More than 800,000 hospitalizations annually at estimated cost of over five billion dollars are attributed to gallbladder disease. Over 20 million Americans have gallstones with approximately one million new cases diagnosed each year. Women are twice as likely as men to develop gallbladder disease. The higher prevalence of gallstones in women is thought to be caused by multiple pregnancies, obesity, and rapid weight loss.
Have you ever been diagnosed with gallbladder disease? What happened?
