Hi there
Just wanted some advice on an issue I am having. I had the gallbladder out 4 months ago and it took me a long time to heal. Now I am all good except for some pain on the right hand side. It's in my back near where the liver is? and around the front right hip area. Its there most of the time but not always and it gets worse if I move around a lot or sometimes sitting in the car will make it bad. It has improved as its not there all the time but just wondered if anyone else had this. Not sure if it's from the surgery or back pain from spending so long in bed recovering.
Thanks

I am better than I was but still stomach ache and pain in right side sometimes.
Have recently been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia.
To be honest, I think it is just something I am going to have to live with and as I say I am certainly better than I was with the gallstones.
Take care and keep in touch

I know a quite a few people who had their's out with no issue, nothing. My Auntie had hers removed when she was about 70, no dramas or no follow up issues.
I had mine removed when I was younger, early 40's but had a horrible time with the operation, recovered fine, then have a big issue now. I have come to believe that a lot of people have issues if the gallbldder is infected when it is removed. My understanding is that is why sometimes they like people to get rid of the infection before they operate. Others, like me, they have to take out there and then because they are on the verge of bursting and that is dangerous.
I do not believe that age is an issue. As you say, you are healthy otherwise, sorry to hear about your arthritis by the way.
If you are having real issues, you will notice straightaway the difference when the gallbladder is gone.
Remember, people only tend to look for answers on the internet when they have or ar having issues. People rarely look into things when they've had a good experience or recovery.
I wish you good luck with everything.
