Pain where gall bladder used to be-except I had my gall bladder removed.
Posted , 9 users are following.
I had my gall bladder removed 20 years ago. The experience leading up to the surgery was horrible--weight loss, no sleep, no food. Once I was admitted to the hospital (after going the ER), my gall bladder was removed the following morning. The recovery went well with ZERO pain since. Until now! About 3 weeks ago, it started. It is the SAME pain I recall having 20 years ago. Except, I don't HAVE a gall bladder. Anyone know WHAT this could be?

I have the same. Gall bladder removed 6yrs ago and felt great. However the pains come and go with a vengence now.
Nothing shows up on tests, the doctors say it is just rogue nerves. The pain is excrutiating.

Always a good idea to go in to the doc for tests, your pain could be telling you something. Not everyone reacts the same after GB removal. I had mine out in my twenties and they removed the bile duct at the time. Never had the same pain again. Yet many times rushed to the ER the GB symptoms mimicked a heart attack. After tests no heart problems so gave me pain meds sent me home. Took many years to discover it was gallstones. So glad to get it out!
It could be something serious. I never take my health for granted. Sometimes the simplest things can be just that and then again we are not doctors.

my bile duct was diseased from stones stuck in it for many years. I had open surgery the incision about 6" . It never bothered me since. At a very young age at 29 I'm sure my stomach muscles were in better shape than they are now after several children. For more info plz see bile duct removal with GB.
