Gb removed 8 mths ago. very tender ribs on my side at the bottom (right). hurts whenever i touch them or lay on them. for about 5 months. thoughts?

Not sure: This could be a muscular problem unrelated to the GB surgery. There are rare cases where a collection of fluid can occur sometime after the surgery. You should see your surgeon and may need an ultrasound or a CAT scan.
