Contemplating NOT having suggested gallbladder surgery!

Thank you. Agreed, I would get 2nd (and 3rd) opinions on potential surgery if I cannot continue to reduce # and intensity of "attacks".
I saw the friendly and young gastroenterologist twice. The entire extent of his advice was: "meet with a surgeon and reduce fats and fried foods". I called back for more detail on diet and steps to take..........no response. BTW, I live near NYC.

@tennisgolf If you are close to NYC then you do have great medical care within reach. I live 55 miles from Boston and use Mass General for everything except my PCP. I feel very fortunate to be close to some of the best medical care in the world.
I had a fabulous gastro but he moved to NY Presbyterian. Gastros are all so specialized now, I don't know if he handles gall bladder. I went to him for colonoscopies, endoscopies and Barrett's Esophagus. His name is Chin Hur.
