Well, the ER doc told me to contact a surgeon he recommended today. I would suspect that since he wanted me to go directly to a surgical consult rather than a GI doc his professional opinion would be that I need to have it out. He also said there were "multiple, multiple" stones. Twice. Ick.
I've read up on the surgery and it certainly seems simple (it is the most common surgery in America, or so I've read as well). But it's just not as much fun to talk about surgery without being able to say the word sphincter.
