laparoscopy took care of it.

But I had weeks of not feeling well. Just the smell of food gave me pain. It got to the point when I went on a walk with dog and smelled someone barbbqueing, I would have sever pain--mostly in back and unded entire L arm (referred pain). I could not even lay down or lean back against a chair. Finally, they found out what it was.

No problems at all living without a gall bladder. Good luck
