Surgery set for 11-5-25

Had a bad attack in May 2025 that almost sent me to the hospital. It went away after a couple of hours. Now I’ve had 3 mild attacks in the last 3 weeks. Also having back, neck and shoulder pain. Ultrasound shows stones and sludge. Really no choice now. I don’t want to live my life afraid to eat. I’ll update you after my surgery 11-5-25. I’m 52/male.
