Plz See GI Doctor: Postcholecystectomy syndrome is the persistence or return of RUQ abd pain following gallbladder removal. This is due to non-biliary causes (irritable bowel, ulcer dz, gerd, etc), organic biliary dz (common duct stones/stricture/cancer), or functional biliary disease (sphincter of oddi dysfunction). I advise GI work up to include labs, ultrasound+/-ercp, depending on above results.

See a doctor: This cannot be easily diagnosed, and assumptions would be easily wrong. You need to be professionally evaluated and may need imaging studies. See your pcp or the general surgeon who did your cholecystectomy. Hope this clears up quickly.
