My wife had to have her gall bladder removed a couple of years ago. She has an incredible pain tolerance and went through 2 childbirths with no drugs or spinal block and really didn't have too many complaints there. The night she had her gall bladder attack it had put her to her knees crying and was in incredible pain. When asked what was worse she always replies gall bladder over child birth...but it's different for everybody. Either way, that sucks man sorry you have to go through this too
