Gallbladder Polyps Posted: 01-09-04 01:45am


I have been advised to have my gallbladder removed due to polyps.Is it true that polyps can be a precursor to cancer?I am a 44 year old female and often I have a low grade fever. I also have severe nausea attacks after high-fat meals. I have had juvenile diabetes for 27 years. It is in control with an insulin pump. Thanks.

gallbladder cancer is very rare, and by themselves, polyps don't cause nausea. Have they done a hida scan with gallbladder ejection fraction? You must be fasting 4-8 hours prior to scan. No opium based pain medicine (morphine, et.) at least 8 hours prior to scan. Let them know you're diabetic. You may have to adjust your insulin.
Could it be diabetic gastroparesis causing your problem?
