: This probably does not represent your gallbladder. It is unusual to be able to feel the gallbladder through the skin, even when it is distended. The HIDA scan will help with assessing your gallbladder function. If the symptoms worsen or anything new develops, contact your doctor or a gastroenterologist. Good luck.
