In your case, most people see almost complete
or elimination of symptoms (mostly
heartburn in my case; some belching, gas), the other "keep it and if it starts hurting, then chuck it." My mother, who had something similar (hers was dyskinesia, but eventually she developed stones), also went through the heartburn. Got hers out and hasn't had a problem since.
Didn't know about some of the dangers (namely Ducts of Luschka disease), so thanks for the research.
