I had mine removed about 15 years ago. It all started with some of the worst pain I ever experienced. I tried to poop, but couldn"t and couldn"t vomit either. After suffering for several hours, I asked my Wife to take me to the emergency room, the only time I have ever asked her to do that.
Once there, they asked me some questions and did an exam. Then they set an IV and gave me some morphine, which I had never experienced before. In a few heartbeats, my pain was gone and I wanted to go home. But they sent me to an ultrasound exam. The tech said he could not diagnose my problem, but bet me that within the next day or so, I would have gall bladder surgery.
The hospital admitted me that night, and about 6AM, a surgeon removed my gall bladder using the orthoscopic procedure with 4 small incisions. Later in the morning the surgeon told me that my gall bladder had been completely filled with stones. He was surprised that I had not had any attacks besides the one the night before.
I was released from the hospital about Noon and had to take it a little easy for a couple of days. Other than the 4 little scars on my belly, I cannot tell any bad effects from the surgery. I have never had that kind of pain again.
After the surgery I never had any trouble eating anything I wanted. I wish I still could, but now I have to behave as a diabetic.
Hope your surgery comes out as well as mine did. I would recommend getting it done, assuming the rest of your health is OK. You really don"t need a gall bladder, and one that is giving you problems is a real PAIN!

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
