I have 50% function butI still have all the syptoms of gallbladder disease. Including terrible fever and sweats and nausea and vomiting. My bile levels are extremely elevated. I need to go back to my specialist to try to get some answers as I dont want to go through with surgery unless it is necessary.

I think 35% is the magic number for a non-functioning gallbladder.  Anything borderline or less is indicative of a problem.
