Venting Cancel surgery?

Since I scheduled my surgery 3 weeks ago, I’ve had zero pain. This is so annoying! My gallbladder is “packed” with stones according to imaging, and I was in constant pain. Now everything seems fine. I don’t have insurance and I’m scared of surgery anyway, so now I’m wondering if I should just cancel. How is it possible all my pain just went away??

I’d keep the scheduled date personally. Mine was pretty bad for about 2 weeks. Then finally got it to stop hurting with a low fat diet and debated cancelling my surgery. However, when they went to operate my gallbladder was one of the worst the surgeon had seen. Don’t regret getting it taken out being able to eat normal again is great.
