No, I've had the opposite: well functioning gall bladder but with stones, and have had many minor pains, nausea (no vomiting) and one or two big-time pain incidents. There are so many variables with gall bladder disease that people tend to have different symptoms, and the same person can have different symptoms each time.
For example, one young woman I work with had hers removed; so did her mother, her sister AND her brother. All four suffered greatly first, but all had different symptoms from each other. Go figure. No wonder this is such a difficult thing to diagnose.
What exactly are your symptoms if you haven't had any pain?
