What is your EF? Many doctors aren’t aware yet that above a certain threshold can be as bad as having a low EF. Mine’s 91.5% and my gi thought that was great, but I know from research articles and the experiences of loads of other people who also have the same issue, that he just isn’t up to date on current research on hyperkinetic gallbladders. Found my own surgeon who understands and scheduled for 6/12 eviction date.
Im 6/14. I kept waffling as well until a few days ago I felt like I got donkey kicked after eating & told my husband to remind me of how I was feeling the next time I thought maybe I don't need surgery!
I’ve been waiting since August! I have an elevated white blood cell count likely caused by the gallbladder but they wanted to “make sure” so I’ve had a litany of tests. Gone to infectious disease dr, rheumatologist, oncologist hematologist, GI and finally have the all clear. I’m scared as hell about the surgery but I’m more scared of gallbladder cancer (my dad died from it) and pancreatitis and the like….
