Pain in right, to the rear but gallbladder removed?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi guys. I had my op almost a month or so ago now and after some complications I seem to be on the mend however lately I find if I eat bad or get a bit of indigestion I get an ache sort of in my back almost behind where gall bladder was took from?
Is it indigestion or could I still have a stone floating around.
Your thoughts would be appreciated

i am 18 months post op and I get an ache If I eat very fatty or rich foods. I have read up on it and it seems to be our livers being put under strain to produce bile as we no longer have our gall bladders storing ...I also read we are prone to getting fatty livers if we are not careful .. So I avoid fat and occasionally when I do eat too much I get the gnawing ache in my right side of my back ..
Hope that helps

Oh that makes a lot of sense thanks for that. I'll be sure to watch what I eat I don't fancy that.
Bad that docs don't tell us all this after op.
Thanks for your response

I had a complicated removal operation too and nearly died.
I recovered well and then was fine for a year.
The past year though has been awful.
I'm not awaiting surgery to have a post operative mass removed from this gallbladder site. They think it might be a gallbladder remnant. I first felt it a year after surgery but it was dismissed as being psychosomatic. Only this year when I've been so poorly that it's been investigate properly. It' been a long drawn out affair. I agree that they don't tell you what to look out for etc.
