How Soon After Gallbladder Diagnosis
Posted: 06-12-05 18:51pm

I have a question and I was wondering how soon after a diagnosis of a gallbladder problem did you have surgery to remove it?

As of last thursday(2 days after my hida sascani was told that my gallbladder was only at a 17% infraction rate and that was considered abnormal. My doctor said that it will have to be removed but he wants me to have an upper gi endoscopy first. I'm in a great deal of pain and I would like this to be over as soon as possible. So that why i'm wondering what others wait time has been. Thanks!!

I had an ultrasound that came back I had an inflammed gb wall with polyps, then I had the hida scan done and it was normal, then I had an endoscopy done and I had "mild" gastritis. It was done to be sure there wasn't anything else that could be causing my symptoms. It took about 6 weeks after the endoscopy before I had my gb out.
