Hi Eric! I have had a HIDA Scan where they found my Gallbladder is only operating at 14%. I had a gallbladder attack almost a year ago & 3 months later a ruptured appendix. I have digestive issues gas & burping which mimicked acid reflux. I took omeprozole for a few months but didn't do too much. Since I found out from the HIDA Scan I've stopped the acid reflux meds & my symptoms seem better; however, I still have mild symptoms. Ok sorry for going on & on but I'm having my surgery on March 14th & I'm hoping this will solve my issues. I will let you know if it's resolved. I'm sure if so it may take some time for my body to adjust. It took me a good 3 or more months after my appendix.
Are you having your GB removed & what are your symptoms?

Yes I'm having it removed next week not sure on what day. I've had the classic rib pains , chest pressure , diarrhea off and on , burping , terrible back pain I'm sure I'm missing some lol. I've had CT scan ultrasound , endoscope , HIDA scan but I've got a ef of 76 and the surgeon is really wanting it out. I've been taking bentyl for a week which has calmed the spasms and I can eat again and omeprazole for about 2 weeks. I've talked to 2 surgeons and both said with the symptoms that it needs to get taken out. Kinda nervous about all the tests being normal and a 76 ef
