Q: Lazy Gallbladder
asked by: MrBlond on April 10th, 2007

A couple weeks ago I was feeling some discomfort on my right side so I went to see my doctor he recomended that I have a HIDA scan done the results came in and it showed that my gallbladder was working at 9% so it had to be removed. With those results I went to my gastroenterologist and he recomended a sonogram and a CT scan, both results came out normal and it showed I had no gallstones so he said I had a lazy bladder and that removal wasnt necessary. So what can I do? Do I have it removed? What are the chances that my gallbladder function will go down from 9%? One more thing the discomfort has gone away.

Thank You

Lazy Gallbladder
My advice is to leave it alone if it is not hurting you.

lazy gallbladder
similar story to the one above. except it is causing me to be extremely nauseous all the time. low energy, losing weight. i'm no overweight to begin with and i eat pretty healthy. what are the alternatives to surgery? other than weight loss and healthy diet? i have no stones, just a little pain and a lot of nausea.

gallbladder problems in a 9yo
My husband had a "lazy gallbladder" that was functioning at 30%, and causing a lot of pain. He had it removed, and now the pain is gone, but he still has bouts of nausea and diarrhea.
Now, my 9-year-old daughter is experiencing daily nausea and fatigue, and she will be going in for a HIDA scan next month. I am very hesitant to have her undergo surgery if her gallbladder isn't functioning fully, since I have seen in my husband that the symptoms don't go completely away. She is too young to be looking at a lifetime of symptoms! Her other symptom is the opposite of nostones- she has gained a lot of weight since the most recent onset of symptoms (over about 20 months ago), even though her diet has not really changed.
