What other symptoms are you having?  Pain, nausea, any fever, diarrhea or constipation?

I have never heard of a "collapsed" GB.  But if you have spasms of the GB that could be due to stones or sludging of bile in the GB.  Depending on the cause I think there are a few treatments.  Most doctors especially surgeons would suggest removal.  Since I have had mine removed and haven't felt great - I would try to avoid surgery if I could.
