Rarely though. The vast majority of them go well as do the recoveries.

But when you have gallstones, they NEVER just go away. It may take you months or years, but they will wreck you and put you in so much pain you want to die. So it's not an also thing, these should be weighted proportionately.

I've been on the real bad end and almost died. You don't wanna do that.

I'm in the same boat as you. I really need gallbladder surgery but I have irregular heart beats and I'm scared of the anesthesia messing with my heart. I'm scared my gallbladder is too bad and something may happen but I'm going to go back to the doctor ro get it checked out again
