Why Am I Still Having Pain After Removing My Gall Bladder?
I had my gallbladder removed 7/30/12. I am still getting pains like I did before my gallbladder was removed. I had sludge in my bladder, no stones, and it was only functioning 8%. Is this normal? My gastro doctor gave me medicine that I put under my tongue it helps with the pain but I don't want to be on it forever.

Hello
I have gone through your concerns.
If i were your treating physician i would have suggested you to perform H pylori test and upper gastrointestnal endoscopy to look for peptic ulcer.for which i would have prescribed triple antibiotics such ampicillin azithromycin and metronidizole with a proton pump inhibitor such as esomeprazole for 14 days.
I would also have suggested an electrocardiogram(ekg) to look your heart status.
Then i would have suggested serum lipase and amylase to rule out any pancrease related pathology.
I would suggest you to take proton pump inhibitor such esomeprazole 40mg for symptomatic relief.avoid spicy food.take milk at the time of going to bed.raise your pillow.sucralfate syrup.
As these drugs are available on prescription and tests need to be done,i would suggest you to meet gastroenterologist and a cardiologist.
Hope answer is helpful.
Thanks.
Wish you good healthy life
