62Falcon, I had my gallbladder taken out after one of those attacks. Unless you go through it (attack) people never know the pain that will fold you over like a ham sandwich. Whenever you meet someone that had a gallbladder attack you just look at each other and nod "yeah I've been through hell too" I asked for my gallstones back after the operation from my doctor and they gave them to me in a jar (look like small green pea's) I was in and out of the hospital in one day then a few days at home in bed but after that everything was normal. After the attack I said "TAKE THOSE THINGS OUT !!" How long did you attack last ? Thanks DT.
