If it hurts take the call xxx They would normally write to you first with a phone appointment date. Let your manager know the approximate time of the call as they don't often call on time. If you're in the uk it will be from a private/with held number. Take care

I went to A&E when my gallbladder pain got too bad - they gave me an ultrasound scan and confirmed gallstones.

I was able to have it removed within two weeks at the time (2015) -

Not sure how that would go now, but don’t be frightened to use A&E - very few painkillers that you can get over the counter will touch gall bladder pain.

Hope that helps.
