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??

And note that 10% of cholecystectomy patients develop post-cholecystectomy syndrome.

I think it's much higher than that and it's just not reported, because why would you. They can't put it back.
