Hi All, Anyone less than 4 mo. Post op have their gall bladder removed?

I am three months post op (open RNY)today, and ended up in the ER last week for horrible abdominal pain. It turned out to be my gall bladder, and my doctor just informed me that I have to have it removed ASAP. I'm scared to death. I do not want to have anymore surgery!! I called my doctor, and they were surprised because I have been on ACTIGALL, which is supposed to prevent this. They said this was definately a first. Has anyone else gone through this? Is there any option other than having it removed? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 247/195
