A member asked:

Had gallbladder out 8 months ago. is it normal to still have nausea, sometimes tight and distended stomach after surgery? how long does it take to heal

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it can be: After gallbladder removal, some people can have nausea, bloating etc. Sometimes it's from bile in stomach, other times it is reaction to something u ate. If it is bothering u bad enough, please see your doctor.
