Hey Brianna,

If you have gallstones I recommend having surgery to have your gallbladder removed. I was sick (in pain, throwing up, etc) like you were, and dealt with it for a year (because I had no insurance)...and ended up with an ulcer from it, from throwing up so much. I was sick 4 or 5 times a week though, and mostly during the middle of the night. I know how painful it is, and it's been my experience that you really don't need your gallbladder all that much to function, and function properly. I've been without mine for 4 years and haven't noticed much of a difference at all. To find out if you have them is pretty painless and if you have insurance, just a co-pay. The surgery is practically painless (afterwards) out-patient type, and I was up and at it the next day. I have three little scars on my stomach.
