HELP!! I was told my liver is not transferring to Intestines properly!!
I have had a pain in my side for years, my friends would always say it was my gall bladder, and one day it was going to hit me, and I would have my gall bladder removed. A few weeks ago, the pain hit me and lasted for days, My family
dr, sent me for an ultrasound, and did blook work for gall bladder and liver. Nothing showed up, and my blood work was normal. She then sent me to a Gastroenterologist. Then they ordered the HIDA scan; those results showed that my gall bladder was functioning at 6%. Also they told me some other thing was wrong, that where my gall bladder and liver meet, the liver was not transferring into the intestines. What is this? What causes this? What is thtreatment for this? I cannot remember what they told me it was, I just remember what she said it meant. They have scheduled me to see a surgeon, but it will be 3 weeks before they will see me. I have to wait three weeks, and worry and wonder. I keep asking the Dr's office what is it,, what is the treatment,, and they just tell me I would have to discuss it with my surgeon. Does this mean I have surgery for the liver thing too? I just think its not very thoughtful to tell me I have something wrong with my liver, and make me wait weeks to find out. Can someone please tell me what this is and what they do for it??? Please help, I am worried
I just had my Gallbladder out Feb 13th and my HIDA scan showed my Gallbladder was only working 11-1/2 %. Then I had surgery and they told me my Liver was yellow
. I went back to the Dr. today and he said if I loss more weight my Gallbladder will go back to normal. Honey, you need to call the surgeons office and ask them if they can get you in sooner, if you don't want to wait. Ask them to put you on a cancellation list. If they can't get you in sooner then call your family
Dr. and ask for an appt. now to talk about it. I don't blame you I would be upset too. The only other thing I can tell you that might help is read your Bible and ask God for direction and comfort. It helps me all the time. I have had 14 surgeries now.
