Try non-surgical Rx: Even if you remove the gallbladder, you will still produce bile. So unlikely that removing the gallbladder would fix problem. First see the specialist & ask for recommendations. Also may want to try all non-surgical and non-pharmaceutical approaches such as no eating after dinner, always eat a light dinner, sleep with your head propped up a bit, try adding more fiber to your diet
