Gallstones - Symptoms - Treatments - Prevention: "Gallstones are the most common and costly digestive disease in the United States, causing more than 800,000 hospitalizations annually at estimated cost of over five billion dollars. More than 20 million Americans have gallstones and approximately one million new cases are diagnosed each year.

Well over half a million people undergo cholecystectomy (surgical removal of the gallbladder) each year. "
