Trying to decide whether to have Gallbladder Surgery: What next?

Thanks for your helpful feedback. Mayo Clinic sent me some info on another patient who had MALS which can mimic Gallbladder attacks. Since I have a repeat MRCP and HIDA will wait for results. I just don’t want to remove the Gallbladder if it’s something else. That would be tough to have another ERCP since the first caused severe Pancreatitis. However, yours helped you. I may inquire about that too.

Thanks so much 🙏

I hope you tolerate ERCP this time.
By the way, I’m now suffering from recent, extreme MALS pain again. Tomorrow I’ll have a procedure to blow the celiac artery open again. The artery had a bad kink in it from the beginning, even after the ligament pressing on it was removed. A stent at the kink has worked for 6 years now.
Looking forward to less or no pain.
It is sometimes difficult to pinpoint origin of abdominal pain since the nerves are not as specific as for example the pain you have when you sprain your wrist.
