Hi everyone im sam 34 from west sussex. I had my Gall bkadder removed in 2013 after a severe infection and gallstones. Ive recently been suffering similar pain and was wondering if it was possible to still get gallstones without a gallbladder? Thanks in advance xx

I have read you can get stones in other places like bile ducts maybe ask to have everything checked I had pain after my gall bladder removed ended up with PBC , let us know how you are doing, good luck.

What's PBC?

I had 40% of my liver removed due to cysts and they took my gallbladder out for easy access. I never ever think about it as it was dismissed with a wave of a hand by the surgeon like it was no big deal

I'm now having lower back ache and pains in my side again?

And it's only been 4 months

Kinda confused and scared

PBC is primary billiary cirrhosis it is an auto immune disease where the immune system attacks the bile ducts inside the liver causing fibrosis.

Ask for a blood test called AMA to check for PBC simple quick blood test.
