I had my gallbladder removed in my 50s. Every surgery has risks, but mine went very smoothly.

I had a bad gallbladder attack, went to the ER, and they were concerned the symptoms were heart-related and did not mention gallbladder. Within a month, had another gallbladder attack, saw my primary, and he scheduled surgery. The gallbladder had stones.

Here is a brief description of Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal):

Has your son had gallbladder attacks? What concerns do you or your son have?

He has had several attacks. They didnt see stones, Hida scan is next looking for sludge.. Thats what my mom had,
