Success of hyperkinetic biliary dyskinesia with gallbladder surgery anyone?

[Chipmunkiee]

Hi, all. I've been suffering for as long as I can remember, quite literally. From a young age (around 8) I've had vasovagal syncope episodes, constant diarrhea, chest pains, lack of appetite, and I've always been of short stature and very slim. Those symptoms, minus the syncope, we're fairly mild back then and my GP I guess thought my fainting was completely normal (at least 1 episode of complete unconsciouness a year, not including close calls). So fast forward, I'm in the university, up until this point I've had to dismiss all the pain, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, and still fainting around innocent bystanders because every time I had told my symptoms to any doctor, they wrote it off as "IBS". Cool, I thought, at least I can try to clean up my diet so I'm not in as much pain, right? Wrong. I was on the Low FODMAP diet for almost a whole year, to no avail, in fact it sometimes seemed worse because I wasn't getting the the recommended calorie count because everything I ate was super low calorie, and I'd try to eat 5 small meals/snacks a day. 2 years ago, my symptoms were getting so bad that I would regularly have to call out of work, once a week, sometimes twice, working in a highly stressful, always on alert type of job. I would lay in bed and wish for death to end the suffering. The pain, which began in the lower left quadrant of my abdomen was increasing, I would now sometimes vomit right after eating (I can't eat kale anymore because of this) and I'd be spending less time in the bathroom more frequently, if that makes sense. I had also begun to lose weight, which everyone chalked up to the job. I was a healthy size 3, 115 pounds, and no one batted an eye when I went down to 97 in just 2 months, especially not my GP. Flash forward, I'm still in college, but I'm not going to class as regularly as I used to because I feel sick and tired and no one understands that I have felt so unbelievably sick that I would rather die. I'm now 21, fluctuating between 91-93 pounds, depends on if I just had a bowel movement. The nausea is extreme, I can't speak properly sometimes because it feels like I could throw up at that second. The pain goes from the normal, dull, aches, to the extreme dagger stabbing pain, all up and down my abdomen, back (shoulder area), lower back, and sometimes my legs, too. I also get frequent headaches, constant dizziness, fatigue, muscle tone loss, tremors, vasovagal episodes (increasing), and chest pains as well. I've had every test done as far as my student debt will allow, and most have come back "normal", except for two CT scans showing gallbladder edema, colonic wall thickening, and fatty infiltration of the liver. The gallbladder prompted my GI specialist to further investigate with a HIDA scan. My EF is 94% with the diagnosis of hyperkinetic biliary dyskinesia. I'm due for surgery in the next couple weeks and I can't wait. So my question after my sad life story is: has anyone with a hyper active gallbladder had the surgery done and if so, what were the outcomes? Thanks!
