Why Am I Experiencing The Same Pain In Gall Bladder Even After Surgery?

Good afternoon,

I recently had my gallbladder removed on Feb 14th. I'm still having the same pains that I was having before the surgery. My follow up appointment doctor said I would need to see my Primary Physician or a Gastro doctor. I know it has only been over 2 weeks, but should I still be having the same pain I was having before surgery? I'm thinking I will go to the urgent care doctor today because I don't have a primary physician. Thank you for any help you can provide.

hi,

Prolonged pain following gall bladder surgery is uncommon. There are some complications that should be kept in mind like leaking stump or pneumobilia or infected stump.

Did you undergo a repeat scan after the surgery? If not, i suggest you to visit ER doctor to get a repeat scan for excluding the above mentioned possibilities.
all the best.
