2001-me too.
Wow. My hospital stay only lasted a weekend, I thought I was having a heart attack, but the ER knew what was going on. I'm sorry you are in such pain, I know it hurts.
Had my gall bladder out and never had those symptoms again. That was in 2001. Mega fatty foods aren't good for me to eat (gas-x helps), but I'll never learn...
Hope your surgery goes (went?) well, and you recover soon!
