Surely someone here has had issues with their gallbladder and I'm curious what your symptoms were leading up to treatment. My dad had issues and I'm beginning to wonder if maybe I'm not having issues too.
Handing phone to my wife...
The months and possibly years leading up to my major attack my system didn't tolerate greasy foods, rich foods or lots of protein. I would have terrible stomach aches and of course other unpleasant digestive issues. Fast food and eating in general became something I really dreaded because I didn't know what to expect. I would get super bloated every time I ate. Keep in mind that everyone is different. What sent me into my final major attack that made me sick for days was eating two fast food meals in one day because I was super busy. I have heard a lot of people get flank pain also but from what I could gather is caused by the stones you developed. I would suggest cutting out fatty meats and grease and see if it helps. Feel free to get my number from David and text if you have any questions.
Yeppers, I get that shit. Makes it hard the breath.Christine mentioned something I forgot about, there’s ghost pains in some people as well. Sends a pain into the lower back part of the shoulder on some folks.
Just go get tested, you’ll know as soon as they administer the test if it’s bad or not.A lot of my symptoms lend themselves to reduced bile production, but I've avoided any pain thus far. But I'm having extreme bloating, heartburn, yellow stool, and some mild discomfort in my lower back that either associated, or coincidence. I'm going to embark on an extreme elimination diet for a few weeks with some OTC supplements that are known to improve liver/gallbladder function and hope I see some improvements. My old man was roughly my age when he had to have his removed, so that's another factor that lends itself to possibly being gallbladder.

Don't discount pancreatitis . I had these symptoms for a couple months , ended up in hospital for 4 days
I’d get tested as soon as possible. Your mom is very fortunate...pancreatic cancer only has about a 5% survival rate. It’s what took my FIL. Early detection is key.My mom is a pancreatic cancer survivor, so unfortunately, that's been in the back of my mind.
Well, a bit of good news. I farted and didn't shit myself. Forward progress!
Never trust a fart
