when I had my gallbladder out it was so full of stones and slush that it flooded into my stomach and I needed a stomach wash.
the surgeon was happy and said all had gone well. However I still was getting mild pain in that area some months later. I had another scan which identified a stone in my gallbladder but I knew I didn't have a gallbladder.
i git appointment to see original surgeon again. He explained that because all the stones were gushing out that he had removed gallbladder but tied off a small piece near to duct, he said that this small flap had a small old stone in it and that I would be fine.
i have been fine for two years now and have had no pain and can basically eat anything.
However, I was out for a meal recently and did over indulged on cream, which generally I avoid but miss. Subsequently I have been getting dull pain in my gallbladder region, under right ribs at front and back.
although I have been eating a good diet now, the pain isn't going and I'm not sure whether I should wait and see or get in touch with doctor again as I certainly don't want to suffer the full blown agony that I previously had with gallstones as I know waiting lists are very long.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks

Get back to your Doctor now Lovely.
That doesn't sound good.
Don't worry about waiting lists and stuff.
I think you know yourself you need to get seen again.
I had mine out 2 years ago and had a difficult operation.
I've been ill again since January. I've just been diagnosed with a post operative mass and have been waiting to see a Surgeon.
If you have issues after like we are having, they don't get better.
Please get looked at.
Take good care.

if it hasn't settled by tomorrow, I will. I have a great GP and I'm sure she will give me good advice.
Hope your troubles are sorted quickly too, it's so dibilitating at its worst.

i think I have brought this on myself as it settled so well and the majority of the time I eat sensible food, low fat etc but sometimes I take risks with things and just recently have been dining out more than usually as we have been on holiday. About a week ago I did have too much cream and that has obviously irritated it and is taking a while to settle. I can put up with it and hope the pain goes in the next couple of days but if it doesn't, I will go back to the doctors.
think I was over confident that I could eat anything I want...I'll be more careful now.
thanks for advice about thistle milk, I will bear it in mind. My indigestion is fine, it's just the full aching pain which I have had for three days now.
hope you continue to improve.
