I read the 2016 thread about gallbladder/gallstones. My CT scan from ER ($10,000) showed no blockage, very mild pancreatitis all organs in good shape. Then I had a 2nd excruciating painful episode about a week later. Now, primary care ordered an ultrasound ($147.00). This is somewhat of a repeat I added to a recent thread.
So, after 1 1/2 hour of "thought I was dying" pain, it's gone, suddenly. Had breakfast next day, dinner, breakfast again this morning. I am FIRE and have decent insurance this year, 2017. Yikes, should I get my gallbladder out this year? There is no deductible from ER, but I'm sure a big deductible from surgery. Thankfully, I'm able and willing to do it. Any advice?
