High ejection fraction gallbladder removal
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi! I’m looking for anyone who found relief by having their gallbladder removed due to high EF and symptoms pointing to gallbladder. I’m due to have surgery next week and it was a choice I had to make 100% considering I look “normal” on paper. I have an ejection fraction of 91% (HIDA Scan). I have constant nausea, especially bad when I eat or after I eat. Fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, weight loss, dizziness (in the eyes if that makes sense) and sometime dull aching on both right and left upper quadrants and lower back aches. I don’t have any doubling over pains. I’m scared to have the surgery because the medical professional aren’t for sure what my issue is. Anyone else have insight?

Hi there,
Firstly, I'm on your page. I had very similar issues and had my GB removed Jan 2017. Over a year down the track it has been trial and error as to what sets off tummy upsets and schedule and pains but rest assured that it will end up better than before. Eating no dairy (very occasionally) low fat and cut down on sugary items is your best bet. It will also take time to get used to it but believe me when I say this, it will become the norm and you'll be eating and feeling healthier without too much bloating and aches and pain. I have managed to keep my weight and not put on or lost. Nausea's feelings and tummy upsets only when I've eaten something like cheese or ice cream(dairy). So I tend to stay away from it and have almond ,soy or rice milk. When I do eat dairy it becomes very apparent that it is setting me off.
Hope this helps a little. I also take ox bile. It's a great product.

Ren - I have a low functioning gallbladder-0% working confirmed by HIDA scan. The main issue during that time I have is the dizziness, weakness and fatigue. But I was also having extreme bloating and burping after meals and early morning. Now I also have gallstones. I still have all the symtoms mentioned. My doctor's are asking me to remove the gallbladder, but they feel I may still left with the issues after gb surgery as I also have gastritis.
1)Did you rule out you don't have gastritis?
2)can you please explain how your dizziness feels bit detail.
I'm really looking forward on how your surgery goes as you have similar symptoms as mine. I really appreciate if you can post how do you feel after the surgery.this will help folks like me and other who are in sidelines. Thank you.

Hi I have all the symptoms you have and I had my gallbladder removed
5 months ago. I was slowly starting to feel better until about 6 weeks ago
when all the symptoms returned with a vengeance. The nausea is awful every day ,
I'm so tired I just want to rest all day . Struggling to eat and losing weight , so hungry
all the time but scared to eat as I feel terrible afterwards.
Sadly for me having the surgery hasn't helped . I wouldn't
rush into surgery as you could find another way could help more .
