Hi my name is Tami! I had my gall bladder removed Aug. of last year and the reason cause I was having cramps underneath my ribs and back and my lining of my gall bladder was very hard and my liver enmzes were high! Well this morning at 1am I woke up to the same cramping under my rib cage and cramps in my back and same problem as before my removal if my gall bladder! My question is how is this suppose if my gall bladder is gone? Can I still develop gall stones?
Hi.what you're probably experiencing is post-operative pain or discomfort. This usually occurs on the first few days after your surgery and will eventually subside. The pain/discomfort after gallbladder surgery occurs not only the post-operative site area, but also over your flanks and sometimes back region. Complete your antibiotics as prescribed and take your pain medications as needed. A follow-up with your surgeon is also best for clinical evaluation. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
