@gloriaann My Lord! If he already had three attacks, why didn't they do surgery. Three nights prior in a row I had severe pain, chills, diarrhea, vomiting. But once I get up and walked around it was gone and until the 4th night it always happened around 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. The pain was in in the credible. I've never experienced anything like that before. Much much worse than childbirth. I wouldn't wait to have another attack and though it's so strange is that I didn't get any pain up by the gallbladder or in it or in my back it was all below my navel going all the way around my back and then when I went into the hospital they did ultrasound and pressed around the area of the gallbladder. It still didn't hurt but then when they took it out it had a stone in there that took up 70% of the gallbladder. Please do not wait to have another attack. If if so change doctors and the after effects afterwards is really not worth it. Get it done now. I know several people that he had a hidascan and they had theirs taken out And glad that they did cuz once they removed a friend's it was completely blown up and white
