Does anyone know how I can get my diseased gallbladder out?


Been in incredible pain for 4 weeks. Been to the ER and doctor. ER just gave me pain pills and told me it would need to come out. Doctor ordered blood test today. Can't eat, lay on back or side and in constant pain. Biggest problem no insurance or up front money for a surgeon. Any suggestions on how I can get the gallbladder out would be appreciated.

This is so why we need health care in the United States. So many many people do not have health care.
Has your surgeon asked to be paid up front. Usually they will go ahead and operate and you sign for the operation and pay for it over a period of time, pay what you can each month.
Have you applied for medicare? Are you near a County hospital? One suggestion is to go to a teaching hospital and have the operation done by a student intern under the direction of a resident surgeon. I wish you luck.
