" Gallbladder absence: This condition, also known as agenesis (failure of

development) of the gallbladder, occurs in approximately one out of every

1,000 people. "

So, June, I want to know if they decided that it was missing, too. What did

the doctor and the technicians say about it?

Hi and a,when the tech said they were going out to discuss

this,they were gone about 10 mins. The senior tech came back and

said,you can go now. I said,does that mean you found my gall bladder?

She never answered,just said,well the doctor said it is okay for you to

leave. So,I don't know if I am running around with missing parts or not

lol.

Hugs

This bugs me! Why can't they just answer the question?? Did they say they

wanted to see you again? Geez. It's our body. Why can't they discuss it with

us?? I think if they couldn't find it, we'd understand that concept!

Hi June,

I know I am behind in the e-mails but what they did to you doesn't seem

right. How could the tech and doctor leave to talk and then the doctor

didn't come back to talk to you? Do I have this wrong? Is this doctor a

GI doctor? I thought I had the worse GI doctor in the world. Actually,

last week he made me feel a little bad that I don't like him. He called to

tell me everything was okay and I knew he was glad to deliver that news.

Then even explained what needs to be done next. It is upsetting that your

doctor didn't come back to explain things. Hope you find out what is

happening.
