Hello and thank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have read your symptoms and I understand your concerns. Cholcecystitis, means infection of the gallbladder. And since you have a stone treating it with antibiotics probably will not work. And since you are having pain always, it means that surgery is the only option left. If I was your caring doctor, I would do some blood tests first to check the liver enzymes (AST, ALT,GET, SGOT, SGPT etc), levels of bilirubin and the pancreatic enzymes. Then I would recommend to check up with a surgeon and have the surgery because if left untreated you might have serious consequences. According to your history, yes I am afraid that surgery is the only option for you.Meanwhile, have this diet, to help your body also
