@sharonlynne - I was right around age 40 at the time I had my gallbladder removed. I think female and forty are at least anecdotally risk factors for gallbladder disease, so I guess I fell right in there.

I'm so sorry you have never recovered. You deserve to recover. If your current medical providers are not providing the help you need, please do not give up and keep looking for the right provider who can offer solutions.
