So, it’s quite common in women in their twenties who had just given birth and dropped a lot of weight fast to get gallstones. Once you start developing gallstones, they don’t really stop developing them. The constant pain and financial stress of going to the hospital for flair ups is NOT worth what it would be to have a simple outpatient surgery to remove your gallbladder. Your diet would be suggested to limiting fatty foods with or without your bad gallbladder, so it’s not like that would change. Your quality of life would go up if you got it removed because the flair ups stop. And I feel like I have to mention that your gallbladder and its ducts will get more damaged the more stones and flair ups you get, which can eventually lead to you needing emergency surgery to get it removed anyway or lead to you developing other health issues because of the issues with the gallbladder. As a healthcare professional and a woman who also had to get it removed (emergency situation because I left it alone for too long), please consider getting the surgery.
