Gallstone ultrasound

[Gallstones925]

I have an ultrasound tomorrow for gallstones. Does anyone know how I prepare?

No food for 8 hours before but a full bladder. Is that right?

It's a four hour fast and a full bladder.

It's just like ultrasounds for pregnancies.

Wear bottoms you won't mind getting ultrasound jelly on.

They check your liver, pancreas, gallbladder and bile duct. You will lie on your back at first and then they will get you to lie on alternate sides with your arm stretched over your head. They will most likely tell you if they see gallstones and then will refer you back to your GP either way.
