Carole, I just came upon your thread. I do not have any experience with gallbladder problems, but I can offer a goodly amount of sympathy for what you're going through.

I really hope that a surgery is not in your future - but if the pains do not ease and you aren't back to normal soon, I wouldn't fool around, but go to the doctor.

Let me send you a big hug in the meantime and tell you how sorry I am that you are in pain.
