Surgery Confusion

2021-09-29 16:53:51
I m 66 years old nd have multiple gallstones but also have severe sleep apnea.. The pain is very mild nd in control.. Appetite is good.. No Vomiting or fever ever.. It has been one year.. I only fear complications.. Just approx if you could tell me.. It will be great help as I m unable to decide if I should go for the surgery? Which contains more risk in case of a sleep apnea patient? Living with gallstones or having a surgery for gallstones? I don't want to die..
