Basically, my wife has been feeling bad for about a month and we suspect her gallbladder. Went to our primary doc and her bilirubin came back elevated, but she doesn't have Hep. She got sent for a HidaScan, which came back negative. She is going to a Gastro Surgeon this week. Our docs says he doesn't believe its Crohn's, IBS, yadda yadda.
Our issue is that the tests don't definitively say gallbladder, but our primary doc says if it walks like a duck, etc. She is ok having it removed, but we'd like some clarity on yeah, its the GB. She's not yellow, doesn't have a fever and some of those other symptoms, but she has pain, elevated bili, seems worse at night, etc.
Any of you chodes have a ballbladder ripped out? What symptoms did you have? What did you experience? Just bouncing this around. Shtick welcomed, since I already asked her if she's been using new or shared needles.
