gallbladder surgery next week and a 74% ejection fraction on hida. please help

Hi there. I have been told I have a lot of gallstones and large ones. I do not exactelly have the typical gallblader (gallbladder) pain . I have a disconfort to the right side of my belly bottom that i feel in the right side of my body where the flank is all the way to my back. but my question is that I had a very functional gallbladder because the hida scan came out 74% ejection fraction. have any body ever hear of someone with lots and large gallstones to have a so well functioning gallbladder? my pain feels like I'm burning specially in low right back and side and soreness to the right side of my belly. I also has been diagnose with h pylori that i couldn't do the treatment because at the second day I was sick of my stomach with strong nauseas. I'm also terrified of the surgery because i never had one and general anesthesia side effects. please any comments is welcome. thanks. roxxi.

Well, I don't know if this will help you, but here's a link from the Mayo clinic regarding ejection fractions.  You can also sign up for their weekly newsletters, click on their links for more in depth information. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hida-scan/MY00320 .  Do you suppose that burning pain that you're talking about may be something separate?  As far as the H pylori, when a member of my family had that, she was placed on broad spectrum antibiotcs.

The anesthesiologist will meet and speak to you prior to your suregery.  At least, this is what their supposed to do.  You can address any questions and concerns as far as this issue goes directly with him or her.  As a patient, you do have "patient rights".  The facility or hospital is supposed to provide you with a copy of your "Patient Bill of Rights" upon request.
