But not likely. Unfortunately, I've not found anything for the dyskinesia. I'm currently at ~238 (+/-2) and due to my rapid weight loss I've formed stones. (Damned if I do, damned if I don't.) I had some level of success with an acupuncturist, but I wasn't entirely happy with that particular practitioner. (She was wonderful in some ways, not so great in others.) Symptoms got better, but things plateaued. I'm about to have my GB taken out (GB troubles run in my family), but I'm still looking for an acupuncturist in my new town (Land O'Lakes), not to save the GB, but rather to continue any improvement. By the way, later in 2008 I was diagnosed with something called gastroparesis. It might or might not be related to the gallbladder. Doctor's say no, but no other possible cause has yet been found, so I'm hopeful. Good luck. Hey Phil,

Now I have been diagnosed with biliary dyskinesia and gallbladder removal is recommended. I would like to avoid this surgery. Have you found anything that reduces the symptoms (right ribcage pain and back pain)? Is it possible to reverse the condition with continued weight loss? (I do not have gall stones.) Thanks for any help. Hi,

Because it's so thick it covers the lining of the esophagus. At about "snack time" is when I start getting a bit of reflux from whatever I ate (I've been diagnosed with GERD and have biliary dyskinesia, meaning my gallbladder pumps very, very weakly). That said, I can't believe I forgot to include the Immortality Institute! (Great website redesign, by the way.) For anyone reading this who's not familiar with the work of the Immortality Institute, <a href="http://www.imminst.org/film.php" rel="nofollow">check out this film</a>.
