Central Illinois | If you don't mind me asking, for those of you that had your gallbladder removed, how did you ultimately come to that conclusion that it was the culprit? I am 32 and have had reflux for about 4 years. Been on max dose of the medication since I got diagnosed with GERD from a scope at the gastro. The medication over the years never has resolved my excessive belching (main symptom) so the doctor decided to do something called a HIDA scan to check my gallbladder. The results showed it was technically bad and recommended getting it taken out. I had an ultrasound and CT as well but those showed nothing wrong with it. I've never had any gallbladder pain. I got second opinions from multiple doctors and they seem to think if I don't have pain I shouldn't get my gallbladder taken out. I'm torn because I don't want to randomly cut out organs just to try something but ultimately will probably end up having the fundoplication surgery If I can't figure it out. | |
