hi.

noted history of cholecystectomy and jaundice associated with flank pain. you may have a pathology somewhere in your hepaticopancreaticobiliary tree. it may be an obstruction secondary to a stone (a recurrence or a new one) or a lesion (such as cystic or tumor formation). it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics (such as ERCP, liver function tests, ct-scan, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. low fat low salt diet is also recommended.

hope this helps.

good day!!
