I think you misunderstood what I said about the gallbladder lining, the technician said that it looked fine. Do you think that having Gallstones impact the amount of bile produced? I am still curious as to why my gallbladder was much smaller than expected. Does that mean I should always eat small meals? Thanks for pointing out the fact that the US may not pickup cholesterol stones - I guess at least it is good I don't have any calcified ones.
