So, I have been having problems for the past 3 weeks.
Symptoms include: chest pain/discomfort, upper abdominal bloating/discomfort, loss of appetite, shortness of breath and the weird sensation in my chest mostly in mornings when I turn over from my side to my back... like soemthing is moving around in there....
I went and had an ultrasound, and it came back a ok. I then had a HIDA scan and it showed my EF rate at 24%, and the nurse said a normal functioning gb is at 35%, so I am going to meet with the surgeon and have my gb removed.

I have seen on here people say their ef rate was like 9%, etc. So I am wondering if mine is bad enough to have surgery? I mean the syptoms I am having are chronic, but not very "painful" etc. I am afraid that my syptoms are caused by something other than my gb, since I don't think my symptoms arethe norm.. Can anyone help me with this, let me know your syptoms?

Thanks!

Yeah I am about the same way. My ultrasound was normal, Hida Scan showed the Ef rate of 86%, but my endoscopy showed that my gallbladder was inflamed. I am lost/frustrated. I am going to met with a surgen of Friday. I mean all my symptons lead to gallbladder but most of the test are norman except the endo. They said no stones but I have Gallbladder Diease?
