Better Call them!: You need to have a conversation with the surgeon who will be operating on you. You need to find out the risks and benefits of the surgery including complications. You need to find out is the cholecystectomy going to done laparoscopically or open. Why are they removing it? Make a list of questions.

Best ask the surgeon: One of many possible reasons would include the gall bladder stuck to a portion of the colon adjacent to the gall bladder as a result of previous infections, possibly ongoing infection at the time the gall bladder was removed. Another is diverticulitis with a inflamed diverticula stuck to the gall bladder. Another, colon cancer, & the list goes on & on.
