Had my first symptoms of GB while in college, age 19. Xray showed that I had many stones. Doc said I could try to control it with diet - avoid fried foods and things like onions, cabbage, broccoli, etc.
I managed just fine for 8 or 9 years and then was having recurring attacks so I had it out in 1983, age 28. This was before laparoscopy so I had the big surgery with a 6 weeks recovery. I've been fine since then and very glad I took care of it.
My sister was in her 50's and had a sudden GB attack after never having any kind of GB problem. I think she had a stone stuck in a duct. She got to an ER and had the laparoscopy surgery the next day. Our brother also had his out in his 40s.
Maybe you'll have another attack, maybe not, but I suggest travel insurance!
