Pain in abdomen where gallbladder was a week after removal.
Posted , 7 users are following.
I was feeling fine and just went to the doctor yesterday for a bandage change and a checkup post surgery. It has been a week since my keyhole surgery but today an intense new pain showed up where my gallbladder used to be. I've tried Tylenol but it's been nearly 12 hours of on and off intense pains that hurt when I lay down or take deep breaths. It hurts about the same as when I had the gallbladder attack that put me into the emergency room but I am scared to go back. What should I do? What could it be?

Don't panic!! Pain in this area pain is normal, your gallbladder was attached to your liver, this site hurt for me too, internal healing takes a time. By all means get checked out but e assured this is normal.

Some pain or discomfort after surgery is normal yes but pain that pain medication does relieve is not in my opinion.

Sorry to hear that you are going threw all of this. I too Had gallbladder surgery my friend. After about a month and a half I too Had bad pain and nausea. Had an ERCP done to remove a stone stuck in the common bile duct. After that I was told I had contracted pancreatitis during the operation. So it took some time to recover from that event. Overall now I'm doing great. Can eat and enjoy life again. Hang in there You Will Be Fine. God Bless and take care.
