I had mine out and it was problem free and had no troubles since.
I had gallstones, which had also led to to jaundice, it was unbelieveably painful! But they whipped the gallbladder straight out 🙂 It was a bit painful afterwards as one of the wounds was infected after the keyhole surgery, but stuck some iodine spray on and it was sorted.
It's a simple operation, I know two other people that have had it too, and all agree that is was totally worth it, especially to get rid of the pain we had already been experiencing.
