Brent,
Don’t worry about this site. It will be fine. Take care of yourself. Not that my thoughts mean anything but generally when patients ask me, I tell them if their gal bladder is truly bad and causing trouble, have it removed while it is still an elective procedure. Do not take it lightly, though. It is surgery and there are genuine risks but most people do very well and the surgery is much better than more attacks.
My wife had hers out several years ago—laproscopically and within a week was up in the barn loft throwing hay down to her annoying horses. She is a very unique person though.
God bless and thank you for being you.
Rick
