Re: non-functioning gallbladder
How do they test for this? How did you get it fixed. I have pains like adhesions and d and I've had it for a month. I'd love any ideas or advice you may have. I have had a lot of abdominal surgeries, like C-sections, 3 of them and a hyst. Several other surgeries down there as well.
Please suggest any thoughts or ideas you may have. I see a new primary care next Tues. and have a colonoscopy on the 15.
Thanks so much!

To check for a non-functioning gallbladder, a HIDA scan is ordered:

My gallbladder was removed because it had 0% functionality and it was infected. Not so pleasant to do when you are on a business trip!
