post op. gallbladder pain.

[beaton]

Hi,I am new here so forgive me if this has been asked before.

Last May I had my gall bladder removed after an ultrasound revealed gallstones and slight fatty liver(non alc.)Op was fine but nine months on I am getting pain in the same area esp. after eating.Is this normal? is it bile related or liver?

Hi, I had the same symptoms after my Gall bladder removal, went on the Internet forums and they were reffering to them as spasms and they seemed to be saying they were normal. Well in my case after about a year of suffering and ignoring the advice of my wife and my gp I eventually became Jaundiced and the pain was there 24/7, I ended up in hospital with a stone in my bile duct in the liver and they removed it via an endoscopy, there is a name for the procedure but I cannot remember it. This I must stress is my case history, not every one is the same but I would certainly go to the GP, I do not myself think it is normal. I wish you all the best, ps the pain happened about 2/3 hrs after eating.

Thanks rallyman, It's good to know what these symptoms might be. I shall keep an eye on them.

I had same problem and it turned out that although I had gallstones my pain was in fact not being caused by the gallstones but by IBS.
