Is Gallbladder Surgery Necessary?
Two years ago, I was told I needed gallbladder surgery for gallstones. I had no medical insurance, so I couldn’t have the surgery. I keep my fat consumption down to about 10-15g per day. I haven’t had a gallbladder attack for a year and a half. I feel fine, but people tell me I’m playing with a ticking time bomb — that I’m endangering my health and possibly my life by putting this surgery off. Is this true?
