Ive been having very similar symptoms to everything mentioned in posts above. Pain & pulsing under my right rib cage, back pain, weight loss, sick after eating, vomiting occasionally, terrible has, no gallstones, clean endoscopy, clean ultrasounds, etc.
I underwent many tests and was unable to eat a full meal for about 3 months. I ended up the in ER three times due to pain & each time was told I was fine & treated with pain meds.
My doctor sent me for a HIDA scan, it was incredibly painful for me personally and I ended up in the ER a few hours after the exam. Lots of pain and vomiting. I was later told my Gallbladder EF was at 91% and the “cure” was to have it removed.
My surgeon explained that my gallbladder was it hyperactive and putting too many toxins/fluids into my body. He said that most gallbladder issues involve gallstones and biliary dyskenia was fairly uncommon so there isn’t much in terms of medication that would help.
I opted to have it out. I’m 3 days out of surgery; I don’t feel great yet although I’m hopeful. Each day I do feel moderately better. Currently still very gassy & bloated, no appetite but the food I have eaten has settled better than it used too. Fingers crossed it continues to be a positive experience

I had my gallbladder removed after having a HIDA and my ejection fraction was over 85%. Immediately after having it removed the pain I was having whenever I would start to eat has disappeared. Best decision I ever made.

From what I have researched normal is between 35 and 65. In my research to high is not good.

Thank you Doc. This makes more sense in why my high ejection fraction(93%) is not good. My PCP wants me to see a surgeon to get gallbladder removed since I am having symptoms.

Do you think the number of people presenting with various gallbladder issues has risen over the years? Seems like there are a lot of people in the gallbladder groups on FB.

Thank you doctor. So if you can deal with the periodic pain and symptoms without too much discomfort, it's better to just leave the gallbladder alone, and not get it removed ?

How can I get in touch with you. My son needs help. I am desperate to find an answer.

I have an ejection fraction rate of 89%. I’m hoping to find answers bc they can’t find anything wrong with the gallbladder besides some gallbladder sludge which they said that some sludge is normal. I’m having frequent pain on left side under rib cage, possibly near the large sliding hiatal hernia w/intrathroacic stomach. I was having a lot of pain on right side where liver/gallbladder/pancreas live. I’ve had every scan/test. My pain starts soon after eating at times until I throw up everything. Then it finally subsides. This can go on for hours, the longest attack so far was over 7 hours.
