    sounds like gas pain. not sure how long the gas can take to absorb back into the body. some say days, some say weeks. i didnt have any at all.

      Mine from surgery left about a week later. I drink a lot of pop I tried to stop after the surgery but started back up and now the gas is back but not where I used to get it prior to surgery it is in side and I am 6 weeks in now. I do find it moves on later in the day as my worst is in the morning. I am not sure about the bile the only experience I can relate to on that is when you have nothing left in your belly to throw up. You should call your doctor on this one if it is happening every morning (and you aren't pregnant!)

      hi Bev 26128, I had my gullbladder surgery two weeks ago. my stitches are healing but now the pain on my right side and to my back is still there. I used to be constipated but now am having frequent bowel movements. just spoke to my GP this afternoon and she says that she could prescribe a tablet to stop the bowel issue but then I'll be constipated. just don't know what to do. am just not feeling well at all. how did you get on. any tips please will be appreciated. thanks and God bless you 🙏🏻
