Gallstones
My 64 years mother who recently recovered from Covid Pnemonia got pain and multiple gallstones largest measuring less than 10 mm was found in her USG plus sludge and cholesterosis.. We have been suggested surgery by doctor..
Her liver report is normal..
But she has pain after every meal, not just fatty and she feels little burning sensation too.. Daily..
I wanted to know if we could wait as my mother is still in post covid phase and her oxygen level falls while sleeping and remains 92 to 94 while awake? And how long can we delay this surgery with safety? Please reply 🙏

Elective surgery is scheduled when her general condition is optimised
Emergency surgery is done any time.
Repeat ultrasound to rule out no acute cholecystitis or any complications as the pain is continuing
