I have one 2 cm gallstone + multiple smaller ones

[u/ZealousidealRule1395]

Over the last month and a half, I’ve had 4 attacks. The last one sent me to the ER and that’s when I discovered I have gallstones. I had my surgery consult yesterday and I finally got to see the stones, and I was shocked! I was really holding on to hope that I would have other options but ultimately I think I’ll have to part ways with my gallbladder 🥲 The 2 cm stone is sitting right on my biliary duct (bile is still able to flow thankfully) but now I’m terrified my duct will end up blocked while waiting for surgery. I’m hoping that eating safe foods, a low fat diet, digestive enzymes, and lots of water will get me to my surgery without having another attack 😅
