I am having a gallbladder attack.

I have the same problem as the husband whose wife was getting sick after gallbladder removal.
I was reading your Q&A on gallbladder and I wonder if you have the e-mail address of the husband who wrote that his wife was getting sick after gallbladder removal. I have the same problem and would like to see what they found out if anything. Thanks for your help, if you feel it...
My last three bowel movements have actually been green.
I searched your site for an answer to my particular problem, but frankly, have seen or heard of nothing similar.

I have severe pain just below my rib cage. I saw a MD who suspected gallstones. What is going on?
Lately, I have had severe pain in my upper right quadrant, just beneath my ribcage. The pain is "rolling", "cramping", "hard" pain. The onset is almost exactly 2.5 hours after eating a normal meal.

What is the most effective way of removing the stones and still saving the gallbladder?
