Hello Everyone. So i have beenhaving thing horrible sharp stabbing pain in myupper left abdoman right below my rib cage...this happens about 10 minutes after I eat anything. So I went to the dr and he said it may be the gallbladder. So i did the HIDA scan as recommended and immdediately had the gallbladder removed.. That was on Tuesday. Today is Sunday and I am still having this pain. I was going to give it a few days and see what happens but now I am going to call the doctor tomorrow. Perhaps it is something else and my gallbladder was just a coiencidence along the way. Has any one experienced thisbefore. I am desperate for ansers.

Did they check your gall bladder before surgery? They did an ultrasound of mine and they will be taking it out when i have my surgery. I guess it is very common for them to do this. Good luck! Hope you are feeling better soon!

yes they did check it before and during...he said it was fine... so now it is out regardless and stilli have this pain

I had mine out last November and I still had the pains for 5 months after, and had the added bonus of "dumping". I don't know if you are going through the same pain I went through, but I was so upset it wasn't gone right away.

Although they removed your gallbladder, sometimes there are still stones in the bile duct that they don't remove which continue to cause pain. Your surgeon should have mentioned this possibility when you discussed the surgery with him. I'd call him and tell him you are still having pain.
