Gallbladder Problems - Gallbladder Message Board

I just got my biliary scan w/CCK back and the ejection was 9.2% (normal is 30% and up). My ultrasound also said I have a physiologically distended gallbladder. No major stones seen but either mini stones or polyps.

To me, this sounds like surgery. I have aches (not colic yet) and nausea everyday.

Has anyone had their GB out with success. I read about horror stories, but I know there are many who have had relief.

Would love to hear from you all.

Glad mine is gone! No serious side effects....just eat low,low fat for a few weeks after having it out.

I had mine out in February. Everything went well and I'm glad it is done. Just do like PP said -- eat non/low fat for several weeks afterwards.

My wife had her GB removed at 9:30pm on 11/16/2006 and was released from the Hospital the next time the Doctor made calls at 3:30 pm the next day and was sent home.

She even fixed soup and Jello at home and I never had to wait on her. She ate a light diet w/o fatty foods for several weeks and has never had a problem with recovery since surgery.

Not everybody has problems with gallbladder surgery.

I had mine out two weeks ago tomorrow. Was in post-op for maybe an hour then went home. I was hurting for about a week, especially when i had to cough or laugh. I am fine now and glad I had it done. I am still tired at the end of the day, especially since I have been back to work a week already. Go ahead and get that thing out and enjoy!
