kellbell5 35 Posted June 21, 2013 Does anyone have suggestions... I am 8 weeks post op and have developed right side pain under my ribs. It feels like it did when I had to have my gallbladder removed but obviously I don't have a gallbladder. It's after hours and my surgeons office is closed on Fridays. I haven't been able to eat or drink much all day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajustice 484 Posted June 21, 2013 Does anyone have suggestions... I am 8 weeks post op and have developed right side pain under my ribs. It feels like it did when I had to have my gallbladder removed but obviously I don't have a gallbladder. It's after hours and my surgeons office is closed on Fridays. I haven't been able to eat or drink much all day. Idk if this helps or not but before surgery awhile back I had crazy pain in about the same area my gallbladder had been. I was kinda worried about that. Ended up so much discomfort I ended up crying in the ER. Ultrasound revealed I had a huge mass of gas. I ended up taking gas meds and walking. Didn't totally relieve it so at the end I had to do basically a bowel prep. Gas gone relief felt. Have followed up with gastro and this happens time to time. Do u use a lot of the sugar alcohol stuff? I do and the gas from it can get bad. Feel better soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deaddemmama 474 Posted June 21, 2013 Check with your Dr....lots of important stuff under there like your liver and pancreas. I had the same pain after my gallbladder surgery and I had an infection. Its probably nothing but better safe than sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBdoodle 483 Posted June 21, 2013 After I had my gallbladder removed 10 wks after RNY I still had "gallbladder attacks" I even went and had another ultrasound done and nothing was found. My doctor said that sometime the tiny little ducts may still have stones that need passing. Its been about 4 months since I have had any attacks. It seemed for me the attacks were for about 8 months after gallbladder surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
