For those of you who have had your gallbladder removed. I have had mine out for 7 yrs now and have been experiencing gallbladder attacksfor at lease 3 years on and off. Did some research and found that stone can be still manufactured in the liver. Just because the bladder is gone does not leave you out of the woods. Dieting and with liver supplements will be your life. Detox your liver and add ox bile and digestive enzyme and vitamin D 5000iu's supplements and you will live a long healthy life. It's working for me and I feel great, take care of your liver is the bottom line.

I had my gallbladder removed in 2008 and I began having excruciating pains shortly after. The pains normally come randomly (mostly early am causing me to wake up). They start off light and ease into a 10+ pain scale. I can’t sit, talk or do anything except get into a comfortable bending position and hold on for dear life. It causes some sweating at time. They normally last anywhere from 5 minutes-13 minutes (yes I’ve timed them). It is always in the abdominal upper right and quadrant and it’s a very dull and aching pain. I’ve had alllll of the test everyone else has. I’ve had an MRCP, ERCP, lab test, and sonogram. I’ve not yet had a colonoscopy yet. I know my doctors think I’m going crazy, but I know I’m def not. My first GI doctor suspected that I had Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, but others say differently. I was started on Hyoscyamine in 2009 and it helped for a little while. Then one day....they returned. I saw yet another GI doctor and he started me on Amitriptyline which is used for depression but can also be used for pain as well. Unfortunately they stopped working after a year. I have no clue what the next step is, but I refuse to give up and deal with this discomfort for the rest of my life. The pain is a huge inconvenience, especially when your in public and you have the look of discomfort in your face and the sweating that comes with the pain. I even thought it was cardiac related but according to my cardiac cath that I recently had, my heart condition is in good standing. Not to mention, the pains only started AFTER I had my gallbladder removed. At this point, I’d be willing to take the gallbladder back lol. 

Hi. I did experience pain in the same area; in the same way prior to be having my gallbladder moved. I didn't experience this pain until I know at least 2 years after I had the surgery  which is what made me nervous. Eventually, I did go to the ER as it seemed to be getting worse. They could not find anything wrong and I was referring to my family Dr. They advised I had symptoms of GERD. I was prescribed something for pain and I was told I could take something for acid reflux. I was advised that when the stomach acid backs up in your esophagus, it can cause pain in that same area. I did purchase I believe prilosax. I cant be sure but it was one of the better otc medications for acid reflux and one day while on the road, I felt another episode trying to come on to the point of I had to sit down and sit still at a store we stopped by. Forgetting I had them in my purse, I thought about it and I took one immediately .Right away I started feeling relief. Just based on my research and what Ive gathered so far, diet has to play a role, it has to. If you are prone to acid reflux but still like to occasionally eat what you want, you may want to try keeping the stomach acid at bay. I havent had another episode in a This is my experience however. Hope everything works out for you. 

Hi Happalien

I am also facing the same problem. Going to the Gastro dr is useless giving nausea and gas medicine does not help much. I can't eat much for dinner too now especially even lean meat or fish. Lost so much weight. Just can't find solution to what to do....

I know this is old, but people seem to still be commenting. After my gallbladder had been gone a few years, I started having very similar pains as well as sharp shoulder pains. It turned out to be an ulcer with referred pain. I took omeprazole and it eventually went away after a couple of weeks. I took it for maybe 4 weeks total and then stopped. When it comes back, I start again and it eventually goes away. I feel like somehow without my gallbladder, my digestive system is more acidic and if I don't eat enough meats or don't eat for a long period of time, I start getting ulcers again. Just wanted to throw that out there bc I was fearing the worst, and it is definitely just an ulcer. ("just an ulcer" meaning its not fatal. The ulcer can hurt 100% as much as the gallbladder attacks did!)

I’m so sorry your all in pain like me. Stay strong guys
