Normal total bilirubin level should be 0.2~1.2, mine has been between
1.7 ~ 2.0 for years.

Yes it is typical for bilirubin levels to rise after cholecystectomy, as well as elevated liver AST ALT levels for a little while with no complications.
My worry is that what if I decide not to have the surgery, not knowing if my gallbladder is
inflamed?
Another thing I want to see is does people with high bilirubin levels get chronic
diahhrea easier after the surgery? After all bilirubin is excreted into bile in the gallbladder by the liver...
