Anyone out there with gallbladder problems after surgery?

I swear its been one thing after another. First kidney stones (only once so far) now I am having gallbladder problems. Pre-surgery sonogram showed nothing ,so my surgeon didn't remove my gallbladder. How long can these attacks last? I have an appt. with the surgeon next monday. Another surgery scares me to death. I feel I have been pretty lucky so far and now with another surgery possibly facing me makes me feel like I am pushing my luck. I just started taking liquid Calcium Magnesium Citrate(pre-acidified) I read in my health book that this is excellent for the gallbladder. Can my gallbladder get better on its own? Has anyone ever done this with or with out medication. Oh how I wish my surgeon would have removed it during the wls!!! Is it true my stools will get loser and more frequent with the gallbladder removed? I am almost 11 weeks out, down 55lbs, and had open RNY distal. Thanks!!
