Ive been having burning pain in my stomach for 18months two operations hasnt found anything. Went to a new specialist who said it could be gall bladder. The pain is getting unbearable right under my right rib. Ive had a ultra sound that shows no gall stones just a tiny polp. My GP says I should have a Hida scan he thinks it is Bile getting stick in the gall bladder. Ive called the specialist who suggested a Gall bladder removal. I really think this would improve things but i dont want it removed if i still have the pain.
Long story I know. But has anyone on here had theirs removed with having gallstones present????
Anyone have bile issues?
Anyone not happy they got their GB removed

I had stones had mine removed fantastic..
but there is a small risk of being left with bile malabsorption after surgery , chronic diahreah etc it is a very small minority who are left in this state . But from reading posts over the last year I have observed that those who are often left in this state suffer from complex symptoms before ...there gallbladder removal was not always straightforward you have stones we will remove. They had hida scan done, suffered pancreatic problems , bile problems, iibs etc and therefore gallbladder removal is a we will whip it out as it may be the cause?
caution ...tests are better than lets remove it and see if it helps.. As it may not help and may leave you worse off...so get thoroughly tested ...and if they can see your gallbladder isn't working or is full of sludge or stones get it out..but if they are unsure hang on to it ... And keep getting tested ..hope that helps
