Dear XXXXXXX
I would suggest you continue and complete the course of antibiotics. In addition if your father has co-morbid medical problems, then get them assessed and rectified.
It is safe practice to wait for at least 6 weeks from the acute attack, so as to prevent any surgical complications.
As far as good laparoscopic surgeon at Mysore is concerned, I do not have a personal reference. You can get the procedure done by a competent general surgeon / laparoscopic surgeon. You may consult Dr. Ravindranath at Apollo BGS hospital, Mysore. In case you wish to take an appointment, write to YYYY@YYYY
Hope this answers your query. Let me know if you have any other concern.
Wish your father a speedy recovery.
Regards

Dear Ms XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing back.
Yes, it is absolutely safe to remove the gall bladder. For the first few weeks after surgery, the patient should avoid eating fat XXXXXXX foods, at least for 6 months. This would mean avoiding oil, fried food, nuts, all sweets, full fat dairy products and non vegetarian items. Till that time, the gastrointestinal tract gets acclimatised to the diluted bile coming into the intestine intermittently but off and on.
I hope this clarifies your doubts.
With regards.
