(Concern) Gallstone removal surgery

Four years ago, I couldn't move due to a stomach spasm and had to take an ambulance to the emergency room. It was truly the first time experiencing such pain, and since then, I always carried medication related to stomach spasms.

And during the health checkup, they said I had gallstones in my gallbladder. They told me to take Urusol and monitor it, and I was told it has remained the same every year during health checkups.

Last year, I visited the emergency room again due to the same pain and received treatment for gallstones at a university hospital. From what I found, surgery is relatively easy, and many people say that after the surgery, digestion improves significantly and they feel much better. However, at the university hospital, they first suggested monitoring the condition and if the pain recurs, then consider removal surgery.

Now I think I know the starting point of that pain, and when I feel it beginning, I apply a hot pack and take painkillers. Also, since my digestion has weakened, I am avoiding dairy products and cold drinks.

I would like to hear your advice on how those who have undergone surgery are doing.
