solaray

My questions are:

1.What were your symptoms before having Gallbladder Surgery?
2.What was your gall bladder ejection fraction on your Hida Scan w/cck Test?
3.Did you have Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery?

4.Were some or all symptoms gone after surgery? which ones?
5.What new symptoms if at all appeared after having Gall Bladder Removal surgery?

I ask these questions because I might possibly have the surgery in the future.

I am diagnosed with:
