I don't have any advice but my Dad and college roomate had their gallbladders removed. Both laprascopically and were out of the hospital same day or next day. My college roomie had to stay overnight because she had a baby by c-section a month before the docs just wanted to be careful with her. Anyway, I hope there is another remedy but if not the surgery is relatively routine (but scary as any surgery is) and the scar for most people is small. Oh and both of those two feel tons better after electing to have the surgery after several years I do not know that either has issues because of not having a gallbladder. ((HUGS))
