A member asked:
I had my gallbladder removed through my belly button. my belly is swelling where the gallbladder use to be. is that cause for concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low liklihood: The gallbladder sits to right, up under liver. Swelling of liver, or colon could occur in that area. If swelling is at surgical site that is different. Let your surgeon know and check the area of concern.
