Hello every one I'm 26 years old and for the last year I have been reading forums and looking up gall stone information i thought I would message and ask for your advice if any one has any to offer . It started I would say a few years ago I would get awful pain in my upper right side and sickness the pain would be so bad I would go to a and e and I kept getting told it was food poisoning it wasn't till last year September I had the same thing extreme pain and I was violently sick I was then kept in for more tests I assumed it was food poisoning again then they discovered I had gall stones I was kept in for about a week set home with a bag full of medication and a surgery date I felt fine after a few days decided not to have surgery then only in December the pain came back but only lasted a few days this time . Over the last couple of months I have been very stressed been getting alot of pain in February this year I took very sick again was back in hospital I mean the pain was at it's worst I have since been back in hospital since I mean this month I have lost nearly 2 stone in a month . I was feeling so relieved to get my hospital date threw do have it removed my surgery is in 3 days time . My attacks have been a lot and each time my pancreas and bile duct was also infected . I have been relying on medication day to day . I had my pre op last week every thing was ok my bloods are much better then what they were I'm showing as ok to operate on . I don't feel like I'm healthy enough to operate on I don't know what to do I'm in so much agony constantly I want it removed but on the other hand reading other people's stories it doesn't always get better I don't feel like I'm even fit for this surgery . Does any one have any advise for me .

Thank you

    Hi, April.  Hope you are feeling better now that surgery is over and you have had several days or recovering.  Was wondering if anyone on here has ever had gallbladder removed due to low function, no stones.
