Congrats....: I would like to congratulate you for being healthy and athletic at 52. Inborn absence (agenesis) of gallbladder approximately occurs in 15-65 of 100,000 individuals with female/males at 3/1 ratio. Despite no gallbladder, biliary colic is still possible. More? Ask your doctor timely.

Agenesis: Being born without a gall bladder is rare, but such patients may have attacks or symptoms similar to people with gall bladder disorders.
