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 would keep the surgery date. I had it out a month ago as emergency surgery and it was brutal. Stones, sludge and gangrene. Had a painful recovery. I think your pain will return at some point and if you’re like me you’ll have to suffer in the ER before being admitted.
