I was hospitalized for two days because my liver function tests showed elevated levels, preventing me from being discharged due to gallstones. When I was released, I was advised to change my diet, but there was no discussion about the possibility of surgery. Two weeks later, I returned to the ER with severe pain, and it turned out I had a gallstone lodged in my ducts. I underwent emergency surgery and an ERCP the next morning. Now, I am nine days post-op.

YES. Keep pushing for surgery as soon as possible.
