I had mine removed about 15 years ago. It all started with some of the worst pain I ever experienced. I tried to poop, but couldn"t and couldn"t vomit either. After suffering for several hours, I asked my Wife to take me to the emergency room, the only time I have ever asked her to do that.
Once there, they asked me some questions and did an exam. Then they set an IV and gave me some morphine, which I had never experienced before. In a few heartbeats, my pain was gone and I wanted to go home. But they sent me to an ultrasound exam. The tech said he could not diagnose my problem, but bet me that within the next day or so, I would have gall bladder surgery.
The hospital admitted me that night, and about 6AM, a surgeon removed my gall bladder using the orthoscopic procedure with 4 small incisions. Later in the morning the surgeon told me that my gall bladder had been completely filled with stones. He was surprised that I had not had any attacks besides the one the night before.
I was released from the hospital about Noon and had to take it a little easy for a couple of days. Other than the 4 little scars on my belly, I cannot tell any bad effects from the surgery. I have never had that kind of pain again.
After the surgery I never had any trouble eating anything I wanted. I wish I still could, but now I have to behave as a diabetic.
Hope your surgery comes out as well as mine did. I would recommend getting it done, assuming the rest of your health is OK. You really don"t need a gall bladder, and one that is giving you problems is a real PAIN!

The setting is rural Wisconsin, halfway between East Troy and Elkhorn, on Hodunk Road, our nation was at war, and I was 6, 7 and 8 years old. George was our "threshing neighbor." He was the one with the threshing machine, a JI Case on steel wheels, and he pulled it to our farm with a JI Case standard tractor also on steel. In those days, steel wheeled implements were common. The roads were general gravel, so the lugs cutting into them wasn't a problem. George would set up the thresher, s
