: Often, biliary dyskinesia can cause symptoms similar to those of gallstones. With typical-sounding symptoms and a gallbladder ejection fraction of &lt;40%, Some patients will benefit from cholecystectomy. See a gastroenterologist and a surgeon experienced in biliary and gallbladder problems. Good luck.
