Hi, four months ago I had my gall bladder removed and on a few occasions still get what I call ghost pains. These pains are not as severe as gall bladder pain but I can feel the spasms quite distinctly. I mentioned this to my surgeon on my routine post op visit and he put it down to inflammation, surely not after four months, and that they would fade.
Hello! Thank you for the query. It is quite common that what is thought to be gallstones pain, after a surgery is diagnosed as peptic ulcer. The location of pain, nausea and other symptoms can be present with both issues. This is not an inflammation for sure. Not 4 months after the surgery. The other possibility is a stone in bile ducts. Symptoms can be similar to gallstones. I suggest you to have it checked. Abdominal ultrasound and gastrostomy should be done. Hope this will help. Regards.
