Suggest Treatment For Pain Post Gall Bladder Removal

hi I recently got my gallbladder removed. I m having the same symptoms as before they did an ultrasound and found no stones. the surgeon drop stones behind my liverduring the laparoscopic cholecystectomy. I asked to get referred to the Salem gastroenterologist. she says she can t refer me because there were no stones in the ultrasound. I don t know where to turn to I ve been having the same pain for the last 7 months in surgery. I went in to see my doctor numerous times for this pain and she s not doing much to help.I just want answers.

Following Lap or any other cholecystectomy, patients experience pain for quite a while. It may due to many reasons. First try cutting the fat content in your food. Replace with fibres and try taking small meals multiple times a day. If the pain is due to bloating following a meal the above should help you.
Secondly how are you sure that the surgeon has dropped stones behind your liver? Because usually such a thing doesn't happen.
You can also try to add enzyme supplements with meals. Something simple like Unienzyme.
