I had mine out several years ago. My daughter is only 17 and has suffered with hers too and is scheduled for a consult on June 10th. Its best to get rid of it and you will feel so much better.
Suzanne, its not the bladder like what works with the kidneys. The gall bladder works with your liver. From what I know, its like another filter. Im no way near being medically profecient though, so I hope Im kinda close on that.
Best of luck as always, Ray.
