A member asked:

Hida scan shows ef of 17% with bloodwork, urq ultrasound (no stones) and upper gi endoscopy all showing normal results. i have been having pain in the urq, being the reason for testing. is it dire to get my gb out, or can i check alternatives first?

You may have sludge in your gall bladder. You've already been evaluated by a gastroenterologist. If your recurrent symptoms are quite characteristic of gall bladder dysfunction, I recommend consulting an abdominal surgeon for evaluation and advice regarding likely diagnosis & treatment options.
