See your GI doc: It sounds as if your bile duct is getting obstructed and the bile is backing up into the liver and therfore spilling over into the blood stream where it can stain the eyes yellow (jaundice). Your GI doc, can deal with this and may push to accelerate the date of your surgery. You shouldn't wait six weeks.

Go to ER: Gallbladder polyps can occasionally block the common bile duct which would cause pain from cholelithiasis(gall bladder inflammation) and jaundice(turning yellow). This is a serious disease and needs immediate attention. I agree you should go to ER directly.

Yes go to the ER now: When you get jaundice and have gall bladder problems it is very serious. You need to go to the ER now.
