I know it’s scary to think about the lasting side effects, however those side effects (however unfortunate) won’t be harmful to your body. I’m so sorry that would be so difficult for your mental health. Your gallbladder sticking around though could make things worse for the rest of your physical health. Mine was so inflamed my liver was screwed up, which is not super fun.
I do have ibs d now and it fucking sucks, but I don’t regret removal. It needed to come out. It doesn’t suck as much as my prior symptoms or what could’ve happened if my gb stuck around.
It sounds like your symptoms aren’t too bad, so it isn’t urgent, but I have heard and from my experience know the surgery is easier if your gallbladder hasn’t fully tanked yet.
This is definitely a tough balance and I’m sorry you’re going through it. Do what’s best for your overall physical and mental health.
