I have uncontrollable itching all over my body. I noticed it is a symptom of liver disease. I also have very dark urine and light colored stools which are also symptoms. since I know I have gallstones I 'm wondering if my liver could also now be affected.
I had my gallbladder removed about 12 years ago. I had the same symptoms as you are having as far as the urine and light stools. the doctors did a ultrasound on me and found that there was a gallstone that had traveled to my liver and was blocking the duct going in the liver. I eventually contracted jaundice. I do not know if this is the same thing you are going through, but it sounds familiar to what I had going on. I hope this helps you, and God Bless you during your surgery.
