Hi Trish, I just want to say that if they suspect gall bladder trouble and the worst case scenario is removing it...I had mine out 3 years ago and it's done by laparoscopy. You're asleep and the worst part was getting in and out of bed the first week, the soreness but nothing I even needed painkillers for. Is that your biggest fear, surgery? Please feel free to talk to me about this. So many of my friends have had this done and it's real simple these days. I hope you don't need surgery but while you're waiting for results, please believe that if surgery is your worst fear, it needn't be..not with this kind.
