Hello @woodsiechris

I so appreciate both of your updates. It sounds as if you are making some progress with a diagnosis. As I was not familiar with a HIDA scan, I found this explanation on Mayo's website. I thought that other Members in this discussion might also find it interesting as a way to diagnose post-gallbladder surgery problems. https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/hida-scan/about/pac-20384701

I hope that the endoscopic procedure is helpful. Has this been scheduled yet?

Thanks for the link! I am awaiting the date for my HIDA scan. I won't get the Endo procedure unless the HIDA scan results diagnoses the Sphincter of Oddi as dysfunctional. I will keep people posted of my progress. For the record it was that HIDA scan that diagnosed me with cholesectitis and prompted the removal last month.
