    Best wishes - let us know how she's doing. I'd be a little suspicious of a gallbladder that doesn't empty - and no stones? I've been through gallstones and they are painful. I sympathise with her - whatever the cause of the gallbladder not working right - and hope she feels better soon!

    You've got my prayers. Please let us know how the surgery goes and how she's doing.

    Hello!
    We are home - everything went without a flaw.
    She is awake and chatty and doing great.
    I have recovered, too. I thought I might pass out or throw up while waiting for her, but a little coca-cola and some crackers did the trick. She was braver than I ever would have been. She didn't cry or resist going this morning. She wanted to see her gallbladder after they removed it. She asked if she could be awake and watch the procedure. They said no . She wanted pictures. She didn't flinch when they gave her the IV. I know that I gave birth to her, but today makes me wonder if she really is my child . We may have a future doctor on our hands.

    And in case this may be helpful to anyone else, we tested for ulcers, Hpylori ulcers, liver/pancreas functioning, and celiac disease before we had her surgery. Those are all things that can contibute/mimic gallbaldder pain. Her HIDA scan empty rate was 0%

    Thanks for all of your support, my TE family!

    Ummm that was quick!

    I'm so glad that everything went well and that she was so brave (and interested!) I'm wishing you both a super speedy recovery!

    Flybye, she sounds like a wonderful and delightful kid. And thanks for the update.
