I had my gallbladder removed 7 years ago but now the same pain came back.

Hi 

look up fatty liver ..I had mine removed a year ago .. No problems ..been on a diet to lose some weight ano the fell off the wagon stuffed myself for a week chocs butter enjoyed myself..got a ache right where my gallbladder was. 

Googled liver and gallbladder removal discovered fatty liver disease..

symptoms similar to gall bladder .

check it out ..

so now I am going to stick to low fat.sensible

dont want to put a strain on my liver ..

So sorry to hear this.  After 7 years you must have thought you were out of the woods!!  I am wondering if having GB removed puts a strain on the liver.  Perhpas it's just a temporary thing.  I'm only 1 month post op but am having odd sensations in that are, like gurgling and bubbling feeling.  Bodies are so weird!!  Please get checked out.  I hope all will be well.

It could also be pancreatitis. I still have my gallbladder (awaiting surgery) but had a gallstone pass down the bile duct and get lodged by the pancreas for 24 hours. Thought it was a bad gallbladder attack and went to the er only to discover it was my pancreas. The stone passed on its own thankfully and pancreas sorted itself out within a few hours

Hello Marty

The GB type pain can return after many years because of either gallstones that formed in the bile duct or SOD ( spinchter of Oddi dysfunction) which is more likely to occurred to people gallbladerless. You need to do a scan to know exactly what is happening. 

Hi Marty, I too have still been having the pain , I strongly suggest looking into Bowen therapy, it's amazing,
