Right side pain with no gallbladder



Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
