I got my gallbladder taken out for sludge, but i am having some pains in the same area, i got it taken out in oct. is this normal? it's cold out too.

Not uncommon: About 15% of people still have pain after gallbladder surgery. Discuss with doctor. Your liver may still be producing sludge. Sometimes taking ox bile with meals helps. Sometimes a "liver flush" helps- see http://emedicine.Medscape.Com/article/192761-overview ; http://www.Ener-chi.Com/articles/does-your-liver-need-an-overhaul/ ; http://gallbladderattack.Com/aftergallbladderremoval.Shtml.
