Mystery the last few months. I had to send a screenshot of my results to my GI provider bc the hospital never did.
Injection fraction of gallbladder remarkedly abnormal. Referring me to surgeon for potential removal. I pray this is it. Months of pain making me very depressed. Thank you all sweet DUers for listening and support.

Hang in there!

(9,083 posts)I had a bout with diarrhea for awhile after I had mine removed. My GI said that's common, so you might want to be prepared for that.

🤞 fingers crossed 🤞that this is it and that you get in to see the surgeon asap!
