Gallbladder removal: friend or foe?

I had a gallbladder attack on my first day of work at a new job! It was embarrassing and painful. Sooo painful! Now I have to decide if I want to get my gallbladder removed before my old work medical insurance ends at the end of this month. Some people (incl Kaiser Dr) says the only long term solution is to remove it while some people say Hollistic medicine can dissolve gallstones. I am 5 months post op and have a good diet. I can't afford o have these attacks uninsured while I wait 90days for new insurance to kick in. Has anyone had good or bad experiences w either western medicine or Hollistic treatment of gallstones?? Thank you!!

I have not had any problems with digestion since having it out. I could eat anything with no ill effects. Not everyone has that.

I had my gallbladder out in 2004 and have had no issues or side effects at all. I am still pre-sleeve so I can't speak for after, but Basically I can't even tell its gone.
