Can gallbladder cause heat from waist to rib cage?

Hi @seniorgal

You mentioned in your previous post, that you have gall stones. As the gallbladder is functioning at such a low level, I'm wondering if there has been any discussion about removing the gallbladder?

Also, have you had an opportunity to read the posts in the discussion group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/reversal-of-a-fundoplication/ where members also talk about the feeling of heat after fundoplication?

Also, please be aware that it is always your right to obtain a second opinion if you feel it is needed. Have you considered a second opinion?

I looked at the fundoplication re-do forum. I am GERD free since having my hh surgery with DOR fundoplication and can eat anything I want within reason and using common sense with portion size. I just think something in addition to the GERD is causing the heat I experience. Yes. I have been told I am a candidate for gallbladder surgery but I do not have the cardinal sign of gallbladder trouble that is upper right quad pain. I was also told there is no guarantee the gb surgery would resolve my symptoms. I will be talking to surgeon's team in April and will ask about the possibility of my having gastroparesis. But I do not want a re-do of my fundoplication, because I no longer have heartburn.
