    Hi Jen, I hope your now in good shape and the above was sorted, I had a perforated gall bag and had a huge incision to remove the stones by hand, a bile bag fitted with drain.

    Now two years later I have a golf ball sized lump behind my drain incision, it is so painful I feel useless, CT scan has picked up something, but given 7 days antibiotics which today was the last one, and I’m still in excruciating pain. I’m now told it may need another operation, I believe something went wrong when the Stent was removed.
