My symptoms are a little different, b/c
the doctors think mine is inflamed. But
i'm pretty sure your symptoms are classic
for the gallbladder not functioning
properly. Let us know what the surgeon
says. I might have to fight to get mine
out if my hida scan comes back normal.
Good luck,
krystle

My Symptoms Posted: 06-09-06 15:41pm
Well my symptoms started out with horrible
nausea, so bad that the thought of food
made me want to go vomit..Slowly that got
better...Was kinda on and off for a few
days out of about 3 weeks. When I wasn't
nauseaus & I would start to eat, half
way through I would have to stop because
of the nausea.
Then the pain started, under my rib on the
right side. Slightly dull at first..Then
it got more pronounced. At first I could
only feel it when I was sitting..Then
laying down & then standing. It got
to the point where it hurt more than my
appendix did. Today is the first day it
has let up, so now my fingers are crossed
that it won't flare up again.
I'm scheduled for a hida scan next friday
to see if my gallbladder is functioning
properly. I would not be suprised if it
were, because they think that it is just
inflammed. You can have flare ups of
inflammation...On and off.
Two days ago I would of agreed to have it
taken out, today i'm more optimistic. I
have troiuble with anesthesia, and so the
thought of going under again is very
scary.
Also not sure if this is related but i've
never had heartburn before in my whole
life..And i've had it twice in the past
month, only when I eat lasagna right
before bed, so no more lasagna for me.
My pain is also like pressure, it feels
like their is something in there trying to
get out.
Good luck with your surgery.

i have the same symptoms as you. I am at
14%. I went to see a surgeon a few weeks
ago and he told me he will not operate at
this time because I am not experiencing
any major pain. I am just uncomfortable
because of the bloating and tightness on
my right side. I can live with this.
Maybe you should get a second opinion on
whether to do surgery or not. Good luck
with whatever you choose.

Good luck with your
surgery.
does this mean you had an ultrasound and
no stones were found? What caused the
inflammation on your gallbladder if that
is what it is? I hope you continue to
have a good streak I guess the only thing
you can do is eat low fat and wish for the
best. Good luck with everything and
thanks for your help.

I've had two ultrasounds done, one at the
very beginning of the pain & one in
the peak of it. The last one I was
crying because it hurt so bad. And I
never cry over pain.
I'm not exactly sure what causes the
inflammation..Just flares up, once its
taken out, you can see how damged the gall
bladder is. But practically every test
you take beforehand can come back perfect.
