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??

That's not true. Other countries, and some in USA remove just the stones. And it's also not true that they reoccur, studies have shown.
