Hello @strun81 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It sounds like you have had this problem for a while now. I'm sure you are looking forward to good results after the surgery.
Is your surgery already scheduled? Do you know if the surgeon will be doing an open surgery or a laparoscopic surgery?

I am two days postop of gallbladder removal for a hyperkinetic gallbladder. I have had symptoms on and off for 10 years.(gas, diarrhea, nerve pain in the neck.(right side.), pain between my shoulder blades and a lot of belching. My HIDA scan showed to 98% ejection fraction, which was labeled as “normal.” I did some research and discovered that a hyperactive gallbladder can cause symptoms similar to a sub functioning gallbladder.
I had a severe gallbladder attack a couple months ago, followed by rust colored and very loose stools, constant belching, and increasing pain between my shoulder blades. I was taking 3 to 4 Imodium tablets a day along with Pepto-Bismol.
My gastroenterologist consulted with my surgeon and I had my gallbladder removed! It’s only been two days, but I feel so much better.
