By the way, doctor... Last month I had a night of severe abdominal pain. My doctor ordered an ultrasound test, and it showed gallstones. She is recommending surgery to remove my gallbladder, but I'd rather not have an operation because of this one episode. Is it dangerous to hold off on surgery? Is there any diet to follow or medicine I can take to prevent another attack? I am 53 years old and healthy.
