I have read previous posts with other people having normal ultrasound and normal HIDA Scan.....I’m in the same boat! I actually had a gallbladder attack during my HIDA scan AND the tech that was doing the scan said it was the largest gallbladder she had ever seen! I just got a call from my surgeons office and they told me everything was normal......WHAT????! How can that be?  I truly feel like I am losing my mind. How can I have all this pain and nothing is wrong? I am going back to the Doctor next week. He wants me to go to a GI doctor. For what? More tests that are going to come back negative?  I am at a loss! Why is it so hard to diagnose a bad gallbladder? I had read about many people in the same situation and the doctor finally agrees to take it out and they find out the gallbladder was bad.

    Hi, I had a HIDA scan done last year, it came back normal, but in Jan (2018), I had to get my gallbladder removed. I was having severe pain & nausea. Everything I ate, caused me issues. I do have fatty liver disease, but once my gallbladder was removed, and I had blood work done a few weeks after, my liver count was lower. I would be persistent with your doctor. I kept going back to my doctor complaining about pain & nausea, until I was finally referred.

    Hope everything works out for you.
