Re: Gall Bladder Trouble?

I had my gallbladder out in 2004. I had had pain in the abdomen for as
long as I could remember. A nurse suggested something wrong with my
gallbladder in 2001 during a routine check. I went to a doctor, he did
an ultrasound and said I was fine. In 2004, I had a new doctor who
located the pain, too. She said that gallstones is not the only cause
of gallbladder pain and ordered a hyda scan. Sure enough, my
gallbladder was barely functioning. I had it removed during endo
surgery (a two for one) and found out that it was full of polyps. I had
gallbladder disease without the stones. It made me very ill for a long
time. And I ran a constant low grade fever for over 4 years with no
explaination. That was it.
