Gall bladder surgery is kind of easy these days. My 85 yo dad had it done last year (laprascopically) and he was back to normal within a week. I would NOT let it go....it can end up causing you much more serious problems.
It is what it is - I understand it's stressful, but getting angry about it isn't going to help matters. Accept what's going on and put your energy into finding the best solution. Your health must come first.
Best of luck! Let us know what's going on.

I will say that my gall bladder surgery was really easy for me. It was outpatient surgery and I took one dose of pain meds that night and that was it. A week after surgery, I felt completely fine, like I'd never had an operation. If you can do your surgery soon, it shouldn't interfere with your trip in May. Personally, I would want to get the surgery over with before traveling out of the country. I would not want to be in another country and have a gall bladder attack. The thing is, your gall bladder will probably start to give you more and more pain if you don't deal with it. Unfortunately, it won't just get better.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
Both are deadly.
Your call.

I am so busy these days with school. I am working on my BSN. Five week classes back to back to back, with only a week off in between.
I hardly post on OH anymore, what with school and the Big Brother attitude here. I tend to just lurk these days.
