Hope all goes well, I had mine removed about 15 years ago. At least you had some indication it was going bad. Mine did not start hurting until about a week before surgery. They tried to scope it but Gangrene had set in and it would just tear ... Like I said My symptoms started at the ramp after a guide trip on a Friday. In the emergency room on Monday,surgery on Wed. and stayed in the Hospital 6 days ... They Had to go in the old fashion way ... Knife ... Nice scar though... It sounds like you caught yours in time . What is so strange is that I had NO! pain or indication of a problem before that Friday(two large Gall Stones) .. Good Luck
