I am 26 year old female whit no insurance, an I have gallstones, and and the lining of my gallbladder is inflamed, I have had one major gallbladder attack before the current one I am experiencing and that was about a year ago and only lasted about 1 week, this time around its lasted for 2 weeks so far, my surgeon suggested that i have it removed, the only other option is to live with the pain, (which is moderate to sever). I'm not sure whether to go through with it or not? Has anyone had it done and did it help?
