Just curious to know how many of you suffer from this unGodly thing as I do? I am currently 8mo post op and everything seems to be going wonderful BUT suddenly I've been having this terrible upper back pain (nothing, not even drugs makes go away) and flank pain. Oddly enough back pain is more dominate than the other. Hopefully ill get this checked out today. But like I said, just curious to know how many of you suffer from this as well.

I only had mild discomfort just under my ribs on right side. I just had it removed last Thursday. I heard the attacks were painful. Go get it checked. You probably have gallstones.

Did they put you on actigall?

Before i got mine removed last month i would always have a dull right side pain. Never had a gallbladder attack. Test showed i had sludge in my gallbladder. The sludge would of turned to stones if i didn't have it taken out. My gallbladder was also fused to my liver. Surgeon had to burn it off.

I had me gb removed in july. I had the same symptoms good luck.

I had my RNY 4/9/12 and my GB removed 6/26/12... I had a really bad attack one day, very bad pain under ribs. My GB was loaded with stones. Since it was only 10 wks post RNY, obviously I had the stones way before RNY. For those of you who are pre-RNY, I would get your GB checked out and while they are in there remove it as well. Its saves time on another surgery.

Thanks ladies for the replies. Ill be having an ultrasound done next Tuesday. I had my gallbladder checked just weeks before my surgery and everything was fine or so they said. Dr said that even though it looks fine, it may not be functioning fine and we can do a hida scan after the us if needed. I have not tried the med actigal. I guess my current dr is almost positive it's no good now. So for now, I guess we wait and see what the tests show next week.
